My eldest niece caught me over Thanksgiving weekend working on an embroidered handkerchief for my eldest daughter and asked for one. Silly me, I thought I could finish both by Christmas. I finished the monogram last week and added some flowers on the corners in the days since then.
Originally, the corner with the double flowers didn't look very nice and so I undid it. In the process of doing that, I severed one of the fibers in the handkerchief. And then the marks I used to show where I was sewing didn't come out. So I ended up needing to redo the flowers anyway! One of them is done completely by eye. No points for guessing which!
Once again, this represents many, many leftover lunch breaks and a couple of sits around the table at Scout meetings. Overall, it was quite a lot of fun and I hope she likes it!
