First Married Valentine

Just a little post to say HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to my one and only!* Isn't his regard wonderful?

*...and also an opportunity to toot my own horn for his embroidered bathrobe.

The Pre-Graduate

So with this next post, I'm not even going to try to come up with an anonymous name for my brother because my favorite thing to craft for him are things with his name on it... To add to his personalized collection of embroidered goods, which already is comprised of a laptop case, pillow shams, some more stuff, etc..., Pierre (that is his real name!) is now the proud owner of a throw pillow celebrating his time during his undergraduate studies.

I wanted to give it to him as a pre-graduation gift before he actually finishes his coursework so that it can enjoy time in the dormitory of the University to which it pays homage. In chain stitch with grey thread to resemble pencil doodles, the various motifs are embroidered on French school paper themed fabric and then appliqued onto blue chambray.

Good luck my darling brother for the rest of your semester!!!
