The prolonged spell of mild weather that ate away most of the snow had me thinking of spring. So when I saw these cute embroidery designs I rummaged through my needlework box and came up with these threads and a piece of thin dropcloth - too thin to call it canvas - I wish I could find another dropcloth similar to this - it's thin and soft and makes up into wonderful things - I suspect it would be rather useless as an actual dropcloth.
I makd a hanging pocket from the design and on one of my regular walks I scrounged a few branches for it ...

Oooh I think it looks great!!!
Very pretty hanging there on the doorknob . . . saying Spring is coming, yes it is :)
Do you prewash your drop cloth . . . I prewash and then set a extra long rise in Downy fabric softener. It works great.
It is soooo lovely!!! I LOVE it!!! ♥
Those are really nice designs and i love how you stitched it and finished it, nice pieces to hang around the house.

How beautiful!! Enjoy your mild weather!!
This turned out really sweeet.
You are so creative, Kate. These embroidery designs are so cute. And I love the little bag with the twigs in it.
Great to hear that spring has arrived at your place. Enjoy the mild weather and the sun.
How sweet that turned out, Kate! I started with embroidery way back in high school--then moved on to crewel embroidery and then cross stitch. I remember embroidering my mom some pillowcases--I wonder whatever happened to them!
Very nice to see some signs of Spring! Will you be making more projects with the other designs as well? Very cute little stitching project.
How charming, that pocket with the branches is delightful.
This is so sweet. I love the floss colors that you used.
This little embroidery just says Spring is coming, such a creative piece.
Such beautiful projects... love your photographs!
The pocket is a great idea...cute and simple!
Very cute - definately has the Spring feeling!
What a clever little spring bouquet. It would look cute on the wall too.
Very sweet. :) If you make it, spring will come...so keep on making!
