My sister bought a panel to make a blanket for her grandson (my great-nephew) for his naps at day care. She asked me to add some embroidery bling to it. I’ve been toiling away at it all week. Not really – embroidery is very relaxing.
I used only a few stitches. This blanket will be used daily and washed, so the stitches had to be sturdy and stand up to wear. I used back-stitch and a bit of satin stitch. Some french knots for accents. The umbrella is done in long and short. I also used enroaching stem stitch a lot. It looks nice, and stands up well to wear and tear. The egg has whipped running stitch and couching stitches. I also added accents to the pre-printed designs, such as the insect. You may not be able to see all the details, but here is a sample of what I did.
