Back in the day, as a teen, I would come across line drawings in the paper, usually in the 'entertainment' section.
I did this embroidery back then. I really enjoyed stitching on these "work" shirts as they were known then. The label says " Big Mac, 100 % cotton, JC Penney."
I took off this pocket to put on the Mosaic Quilt, in the below picture.
The shirt is too small for me now, so I will turn it into some other item of wearablity. The new pearl cotton threads are for the coloring in of Pegasus. I don't usually buy threads in color 'themes' or 'palettes'.
I have 'rainbows' of colors, in the pearls.
I have done a Smokey the Bear, from the newspaper, and other embroideries.
Would have to dig out 'hard copy' photos.
The mosaic quilt is magnificant!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, those work shirts...i have no idea what i did with mine..and why
oh i bet you had those too. seems like everyone had them in the 1980's.
ReplyDeleteand thank you, the mosaic quilt was a good project to work on while sitting here with mom. i couldn't go away from her, like into another room to sew, she would forget where i went, and panic. so stitching and sitting with her was what i did.
