I am inspired by John Lennon’s line drawings to learn embroidery. These are my first real attempts. I am thinking these can go into a quilt for myself. I haven’t made any quilts just for me yet – I really like making them for others. I saw John’s drawings in a book years ago and thought, “Ooh, if I ever learn to embroider, I could start with these”.They are relatively simple and casual. The mistakes I make on these are not as noticeable as they would be on a fancy piece. |

I love them all, but my favorite drawing is the one above. It has never failed to make me smile. |

I did these in the simple back or outline stitch. I found a video showing how to take this easy stitch from Needlerific |
