The first thing that I had to do in lesson one of the Embroider-Embellish-Create workshop with Karen Ruane was to make some rouleau loops and prairie points.
I have made them before a long time ago and it was nice to try my hand at them again.
The cloth that I am making was going to be white on white but I decided to add a little bit of pink to give it a girlie look I love pale pink and white -it is so refreshing.
There won't be much pink just a tiny bit here and there.
I am making this cloth as a gift for my daughter for her 50th birthday at the end of this year.
I have just slipped the loops inside a piece of fabric so I could see how they look.
Here I have made three points in the white and floral fabric and then added two pink and white check smaller ones again they are just slipped inside the fabric for appearance.

These are so pretty Doreen and beautifully done.
I love the touches of pink and green on the white! Nice loops and prairie points! It sounds like you're having lots of fun!a
What a lovely present this is going to make. I love the touches of gentle colour.
I do like the pink in the samples. It makes it more special.
These are lovely samples Doreen, the pink and white is soft and pretty.
You are right they look fresh and very pretty and so neat.
My cloth was going to be white on white too and guess what? Colour has found it's way in, despite my best efforts. Only proves the point that our projects have minds of their own!
I agree white with a gentle touch of pink is refreshing and as a special birthday gift something you have made yourself will be treasured.
looking good!!!!
I think it is those touches of color that add so much interest to your project. Glad to have you for a classmate!
