Day 22
California Dreamin’ by Christen Brown
This wall hanging started with a simple strip-pieced design using two marbled fabrics and bleached muslin. The center square and third square were cut from the muslin, and were then entirely embroidered with decorative and details stitches. The second and fourth squares were cut from the two marbled fabrics, with each strip bordered with chain and French knot stitches. Vintage green sew-through beads were stitched along the border.
You can find this piece in my new book the Hand Embroidery Dictionary by C&T Publishing.
Happy Stitching, ~Christen
This is a brilliant combination of fabrics and embroidery, Christen. You have effectively created a unique printed fabric look with your embroidery on the bleached muslin and kept the embroidery on the marbled fabric simple, yet compatible.
Thank you my friend, I do love the colors in this piece!
