Oh Sweet Mushroom

I’m elbow-deep in preparations for the blog hop, which is keeping me from my usual big, happy posts.

Not to worry, I’m sure you will have had quite enough of me by the end of April!

I shared this little piece in Talk to Me Tuesday earlier this week. It’s my interpretation of a vintage design. This was made purely for the pleasure of stitching.

EDITED TO ADD: Free Oh Sweet Mushroom Embroidery Pattern!

Happy Friday!
