Leafy Moon

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects
1

Hello Lettuce Crafters,
I recently saw a pretty pattern that I wanted to embroider called Leafy Moons, it’s a free pattern offered by the textile artist, Jenny Blair. Instead of stitching paper as designed, I stitched this leafy moon on a new tea towel I already had in my stash.

I chose a muted palette of sagey greens, mauvy pink, light blue and soft yellow. I added a few more stars than was written on the pattern, but kept it pretty simple.

It’s been a long time since I’ve stitched or made anything for the pleasure of making, I enjoyed these familiar movements, needle up, needle down - repeat. My meditation.

Thank you! Stitching it was calming too, I did the entire thing during one epic phone call with my Auntie last night, lol!

How nice that you have a useful, beautiful item at the end of the project. :slight_smile:

Thank you all so much! I love these colors too, and now I’m in a mind to stitch a forest of leafy ferns, I really do enjoy making (and seeing) that particular stitch.
