King of Hearts

I have completed my picture card.

king

A 10 x 7cm free wheeling machine embroidery on canvas using Gutermann Thread and Acrylic paint.

‘Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do’

I wonder if I like the back more; an abstract jumble of muted colours. kingback

Wishing you all love on the Feast of Saint Valentine.

Living in East Anglia with my family and sewing machine I cover empty surfaces with scraps of fabric, search for treasure at Emmaus and the Red Cross jumble sales and take immense pleasure from making freehand machine embroidered textiles for the curious and discerning.

Lovely. I know what you mean about preferring the back of a piece of work, I often do with mine!

Thank you both, I have put it in a frame and think there may be more small scale work in the future.
