Belle broderie de style Français!

Hi everyone, thought I was overdue a good blog, so here we are ! I have been enthralled by some of the french embroidery I have encountered ! Such blogs as.......http://www.facilececile.com/ and http://sophiebrode.canalblog.com/.....excellent embroidery blogs with magical 'eye candy' ! Many techniques and wonderful colour combinations have given me so much inspiration....so I have decided to do my own versions of 'french style' embroidery.....Take a look...........






I am so happy with this example and plan to do more....hope you like the eye candy !
I also have been doing my 'Chelsea pillow' WIP......Here is a little glimpse........




Last but not least....A very happy grandma with my favourite person in all the world
my grandaughter Ella-mae, whom I named this blog after.......Love you Ella xxxxxx
I shall post again soon with my progress, have a happy week folks ! ! !

    I too am inspired by the French blogs, especially Cecile's and Sophie's - a wonderful interpretation Chris! Are you using wool in the Chelsea project?

    This is lovely Chris, I have had problems and had to change my e-mail address so I only accidentally came across the fact that you had blogged.
    How beautiful, your stitching is out of this world, really it is, so pretty, colourful and perfect. Just now waiting to see the next stage. xx
