Making an Embroidered Patch

8/3/2015

The town I grew up in is just a few miles from the city of Oxnard, a place with some of the deepest topsoil in the world, which makes it an ideal place for food production.  And one of their biggest crops is strawberries.  We all looked forward to the day when a flat of strawberries came home.  Everyone would happily pick through the plastic crates looking for the biggest, juiciest red berries.  I have many vivid memories of driving to one of the many farm stands to buy strawberries.  They were always a part of any event or celebration, even if we had to trek across several state lines to have them there.  So strawberries will always have a special place in my heart.  

Last month, hen I heard that the &Stitches blog was looking for guest posts for their Summer Blogging event, I jumped at the chance.  Now, you may be wondering what this has to do with my story about strawberries.  Well, after giving quite a bit of thought to what I wanted to write about for my guest post, I hit on the idea to write a tutorial on yarn embroidery.  The design I chose is a strawberry.  Although similar to the embroidered starfish patch I made a year ago, this patch is embellished with some three-dimensional woven embroidery.  Here are a couple pictures of the finished project, but you can hop on over to the tutorial post to find out how to make one of your own.

    Hi.  My name is Carley.  I love to sew, craft, and create. As a Jane-of all-crafts so to speak, I enjoy sewing, writing, cooking, drawing, photographing.  But the constant thread (if you'll excuse the pun) throughout my weeks is needle arts. 
    I hope you'll join me in
