Embroidery Contest 2009

This entry is a small wall hanging, only 13.5" x 14.5". The contestant writes:
"It was a submission I did for our local quilt guild retreat challenge. The theme was "Silver Threads and Golden Needles". I stumbled upon Advanced Emroidery's "Sewing in the Garden" photo stitch embroidery by Renoir and I loved it. We had 5 inch squares of three different fabrics that we had to incorporate into our finished product. These three fabrics are the lighter ones in the corners and along each side. I also put a golden needle into the finished design in her hand which is not noticeable, I'm afraid, in the photo.

I made this wall hanging on my Husqvarna Viking Platinum 950e machine."
