Dirty Doily WARNING!!!!

I have a friend who uses some colourful language on a regular basis. Now, I have a mouth like a sailor, but Steph gives me a run for my money. Steph is moving into a new house so I wanted to make her a little house warming gift. I decided to combine one of her favourite words with a vintage doily....

BE WARNED!! Strong language is used in this piece, don't go passed the shocked housewife if you will be offended :-)

I had been wanting to embroider something on a vintage doily for a while and this seemed like the perfect project for one. It will fit in with all the bits and pieces that Steph has collected on her travels...

A word that Steph uses a lot is 'cuntress'. The word will forever remind me of her - in a good way :-)

I used a simple split stitch in four strands of red embroidery floss to make the word really stand out. I got the lovely doily from Jo Ashcroft - thank you very much! I will be making her something, not quite so profane though, as a thank you gift!

Profanity Sampler WARNING!!

At the end of my last ship contract I was feeling a little down. It had been a frustrating contract, with what seemed like setbacks at every turn. To cheer myself up I decided to create a little sampler to brighten my spirits every time I looked at it...

BE WARNED!! Strong language is used in this piece, don't go passed the shocked housewife if you will be offended :-)

The Profanity Sampler

I wanted to combine a traditional looking border and style with a profane statement. This piece is meant to look harmless from a distance, until you read it! It made me smile every time I looked at it and it made my cast laugh, which is what I was going for!

I incorporated woven roses and a chain stitch and back stitch border to pretty up my profanity. I really like it, I hope you do too :-)
