Pretty Violets

There is something about Violets and nothing says "Vintage" quite like them. I just love them. I have several pieces of old china that feature them...
and I even have a lovely furry girl called "Violet"
So it was not a stretch for me to start playing with this lovely fabric that I have stroked for a very long time...
A little bit of stitching completed....
and I have now finished my latest commission for  Country Threads magazine....sneaky coming up!
Violet is making sure there is not too much of a spoiler!
Ok!! Instructions to finish writing!
I hope you are having a very nice day.
Namaste and Blessings,
Michelle xxx

    I love violets they were my mother in laws favourite flower so they bring back lots of happy memories. The stitchery or what we can see of it looks wonderful.

    I can see already Michelle, it's going to be a winner! Violets remind me of my mum....she always had a pot growing them on the kitchen windowsill when I was little.....funny the things you remember! xoxox :o)

    So sweet. I stopped buying CT mag but I think I will need to buy the issue that your design will be in. I found pressed violets in my grandmother's family bible. Later I found letters to her from a naval officer that were rather
    poetic and romantic! He referred to violets he had given
    her. So, the puzzle of the pressed violets was solved. One of those teary moments when you discover something unexpected and beautiful. Thanks for reminding me.

    Lovely sneaky peek, all these photos are so gorgeous - they have me drooling! I always think of violets as a sweet old fashioned flower and a must have for the garden... those and pansies always get me going...looking forward to seeing the grand reveal of your design in CT :-)

    I love violets too, they are my favourite flower, we had them growing at home when I was young and I used to pick huge handfuls of them...their perfume is very much a reminder of the past. Love your sneak peek and Violet!
