Embroidery for Eavesdropping



I've been using the scraps left over from my Triangle Tiles quilt to frame some muslin for embroidery.  I've finished the embroidery on another block and have more prepped with embroidery transfers. My husband has had a lot of diagnostic testing done lately and this has been a nice take along project for me. I've tried reading a book but I'm so nosy I have to listen in to all the conversations in the waiting room. I can't do that while reading but I can do that while embroidering. 

More later.

  4. The fabrics are nostalgic seeming to me and the embroidery totally complements them. Together just lovely.

  5. Best wishes for a good outcome! In the meantime, I have to ask you about the fabric you are using to frame this embroidery. Is this vintage feedsack fabric? Or repro? I'll tell you why I ask after I hear back from you.

  7. Those really do look like vintage feedsacks. Good idea to take some kind of handwork to the appointments. I hope everything goes well.

  9. Your right you know...
    Works at home with company also!!!!
    While it would be rude beyond belief to pick up a book or an Ipad game at home with someone else there, I can pick up hand work and enjoy the presence and company of others ....

  13. Hoping all goes well with the tests!!!!! xo. And you’re hilarious about the (beautiful) embroidery while listening to others’ conversations! I know it’s just a form of people watching and can be very enlightening or entertaining. As for me, I’d rather have earbuds in and listen to music. That’s not a deficiency or a brag (at least, I don’t consider it one), but just a manifestation of how we’re all different.

  14. I wondered about the "eavesdropping" in the title and I'm so glad you explained it!!!! I totally understand! It's just so easy when everyone is in a small space!
