Machine embroidery has been a passion of mine for many years. It is only now that I’m getting to really dive into the types of projects available. The bigger the machine, the more possibilities. This design was too adorable to pass up. It instantly reminded me of my very good friend who used to rehab squirrels in Denver with her husband. I made one and sent it off to her as quickly as I could (the timing was perfect, as it was nearing her birthday). The technique used is applique, and from start to finish, these little squirrel wreaths definitely take at least a day to complete. These three buddies were definitely made with love! The original design shows the squirrel as a door hanger, but I decided to attach them to 6-inch grapevine wreaths. I love being able to put my own spin on the designs that are available, it is what truly ends up making it one’s own style. These are available in my Etsy store! www.etsy.com/shop/FancyasFvck
