New Comforter Cover

I spent a long time this past year working on a new cover for my comforter, with the purpose of having something bright and colorful for my necessarily white-walled dorm room, and it has finally arrived in my room. My residents keep commenting as they walk by, and they can hardly believe I made it. The only unfortunate part is that my favorite of the embroidered squares usually ends up between my bed and the wall. Ah well.

Birds on a wire

This one is supposed to be horseshoe prints, but it didn't turn out like I would have wanted.  Probably my least favorite.

Lightbulb!

This is one where I embellished the fabric with some stitching, just for texture.

Here's another embellished one.  The idea with this one was to make the dots look reminiscent of the chairs at the Madison Memorial Union.

Fun flowers using a whole bunch of stitches.

Fish!  This fabric was once my sling from when my shoulder was dislocated.

A campfire and marshmallows

Paisely-- this is one of my favorites.  I had fun using loads of stitches to make the fun paisley patterns.  I just freehanded most of it, since the style is so relaxed.  I got the inspiration from the fun style in a book called Doodle Stitch, by Aimee Ray.

My favorite square.  It was the most intense, but it actually wasn't as hard as it looks.  I freehanded most of it, just filling in leaves and dotted lines. At least now you all can see it, even if I don't get to on a daily basis.
