Happy Friday! Today I’m featuring work from Jennifer Allevato’s Etsy shop. She creates lovely gifts (my favorites use felt) using embroidery hoops! So the other day I was reading this post that experimented (super successfully) with embroidery on tea towels, when I got really inspired to search this craft on Etsy and Pinterest! I came across Jennifer’s shop and knew it would be perfect to feature on this blog.
She draws, paints, and embroiders, and it’s obvious she enjoys working with color. I really like that she mixes her experiments in painting with her sewing.
I love the mixed media featured on her hoops and wall art!
There are feathers embroidered…
…Personalized wedding gifts (seriously, if you know someone getting married, do this! I loooove it),
… Custom state memorabilia (I’d get Washington state obviously)…
and other cute art pieces!
I really admire embroidery because all the thought and patience it takes shows. If you have the skills, the possibilities are unlimited.

Wow, I love those hoops with the feathers and the birthday garland. How adorable! Great feature 🙂 I have no embroidery skills, but maybe one day I will learn 🙂
