Over the last few months I've been thinking of trying my hand at embroidery. It's something I have done before but not for many, many years. I found this still attached to the hoop so it appears I was relatively good at it once upon a time...

| Sorry about the wrinkles, it fades the transfer. |
Not to mention some of the pretty patterns in my collection which have come complete with their original embroidery transfers...
I decided to start with something fairly simple so I chose an anchor from a 1930s pattern in my collection. Rather than waste the original transfer, I traced the design onto a piece of paper, then transferred it to the fabric. Easy peasey. That said, my enthusiasm evaporated fairly quickly and this was as much as I could manage before I got bored...
Man, was this ever tedious! I just couldn't sit still long enough to complete it; maybe that's what happened to the tea-tray cover...?
