Happy Valentine's Day ❤
I hope you're all feeling loved today.

I think it's safe to say that Drop the Weasel likes to send out the love from time to time. Here's a few past creations with the last two bringing us right up to date.

Much love
Lizzie

It's all about the detail this morning. These roses have been embroidered using satin stitch. It's a stitch that takes time and uses up a fair bit of thread but it's so lovely to have blocks of coloured thread on the fabric. .
I loved stitching this design. As any embroiderer will tell you, stitching by hand is a wonderful way to slow down, relax and focus. The repetitive nature of creating each stitch really is calming.

For those that are interested:
Fabric used - cotton canvas
Threads used - Anchor @anchorcrafting
Stitches - Satin stitch & French knots

Thank you so much for your thoughts on my last post. This design (A) has come out tops by a landslide on my Facebook page and Instagram so this will be the pattern template used for my PDF pattern.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and give me your thoughts. I prefer design A too 🙂

Can I ask for your help please?
.
I've created this design that I'm making into a PDF pattern. I created B first and then changed a few elements to create option A.
.
As it's going to be a PDF downloadable pattern the colours don't really come into it as the stitcher can choose their own colour combination.
.
So that said, which design works better for you? A? Or B?
.
The size of the heart will be the same whichever is chosen.
.
If you could just comment A or B below it would really help me to decide and I can get the PDF made this week.
Many thanks xx

I'm stitching a simpler version of my bouquet design (see last post for the harder version).
.
I want to show how one design can look totally different by using simpler stitching and a coloured backing fabric. I have to say though, it's tricky picking colours that stand out against this bold green.
