The other night I wanted to make something embroidered. There is nothing more instantly satisfying then seeing something you made completely finished. Having a new puppy, 3 children on school vacation, and 1 child starting to get a cold, finishing projects is starting to become a task all on it's own.
A simple embroidery can be done in one night and was exactly what I needed. I drew up a simple pattern to make me dream of a field in France filled with purple wildflowers. Taking out my stash of white pillowcases (thrift stores are awesome places to find plain white pillowcases) I began to embroider my template.
Something about a deep rich purple reminds me of France, not that I have ever been there - yet. I will be adding this pillowcase to my
shop and if you want to take the trip to France with me feel free to download or print my embroidery pattern (just click this picture).

Very cute! I love flowery embroidered pillowcases, too. Thank you for sharing the pattern. :)
Lovely wild flower embroidery! It is a nice quick project yet makes the pillowcases so special. Helen x

I've just popped over from Ravelry and have enjoyed starting to read your blog.
Love the puppy, hope you will all be happy together. One year I had a choice - a dog or a 2 wheeler bike for my birthday. Guess which I chose?
