Wool Applique in My Colors


This is a color palette I never tire of.



The candy cane stripe is a heavy white chain stitch wrapped in red.


All of the applique and embroidery is done with cotton floss.


The background fabric and the applique fabric is wool.

    1. You are so right, black is hard to work on and even harder to mark. But I too love the drama.
