I used badbird's pattern and a thrifted vintage linen.
in other embroidery news, I was very excited to find three sets of un-stitched vintage stamped linen towels at an estate sale recently:
because they're on fabric the scanned files require quite alot of cleaning so it will take me awhile to get them all done, but I think it's worth it...I just love the style of the illustrations!
happy stitching :)
ps. wow - thank you everyone for your sweet comments about the necklace, I'm so happy you liked it!

What luck to find the unstitched stamped towels! How fun!
Wow oh wow!! The Badbird cow is gorgeous! I am in awe!
I love badbird. What do you use to tint the embroidery? I'm having trouble with that - fabric crayons don't have enough colors, real crayons smear, watercolor pencils run . . .
Can't wait to see your teatowels done! I love finding vintage un-finished stamped embroidery.

How on earth do you do it?! The finished project is so beautiful!
What a great find! And, thanks for sharing this fun design.
I have never been to countrystitches.com. Thanks for sharing the site!
You know, for a while, know one purchased The Bovine Beauty pattern. This made me sad. It's one of my favorites.
Then in the last year several people have stitched it up. I love it!
Your version is absolutely fabulous and very unique!
I like how you have used a found printed hanky for the back of your design - and what a strong image
thank you all for leaving such nice comments!
Andrea - I'm beyond flattered, thank you!
Karen - I used t-shirt transfer paper run through my printer to get the color & design for her head transferred onto white fabric. I buy it at the craft store - it's on the expensive side so I buy it when I can use a coupon. I hope that helps :)
I'd love beautiful napkins like this because then I can respect the cow I'm eating. Wait am I being respectful by wiping my month with a napkin that has a cow on it?
