My school notebooks always had more scribbles of flowers, geometric shapes, and animals than actual notes. To this day, my Purl Bee notes look more like mysterious outsider art than useful information. One of my recurring doodle themes is a loop de loop motif. I love the hypnotic repetition of it.

With this penchant for doodling, it’s no wonder that I love embroidery so much. These Loop de Loop Pillows combine the simple, breezy feeling of a notebook jot with the beauty of embroidery.

Marking For pillow A: Emeeme: Erin Wilson. A veces hay suerte, mucha suerte, y te encuentras por la web cosas increibles e inesperadas. Mi suerte ayer fue en Pinterest porque me encontré con el trabajo de Erin Wilson. Nunca había oido hablar de ella, y me dejó impresionada total. Erin Wilson es artista textil. Estudió danzá y desarrolló su carrera como bailarina, pero el interés por los tejidos y las combinaciones de colores es algo que la ha acompaña siempre, desde niña, gracias a su madre.

Su obra es imcreible. Y todo con unas combinaciones de color que solo se consiguen si tu tiñes tus propias telas como hace ella. Nada más que decir. Y que paseis un buen fin de semana. {make stuff} cloth napkin DIY. Happy Monday friends! My long lost “Music Mondays” have been turning into “Made Mondays” the past couple weeks. I don’t really have a reason, and I don’t know that it will turn into a regular occurrence, but until then, here is my latest DIY to share with you all: Let me tell you, cloth napkins are where it’s at.

They are more absorbent than their paper counterparts, instantly turn an everyday meal into a high class experience, and don’t fill up your trash bin after every use. And just in case I haven’t convinced you yet, I’m going to show you how easy it is to make your own! Eh, perhaps that’s a little extreme, but you will be able to make your own absorbent, high class, earth-saving meal necessities! Materials: fabric (you can get 4 napkins out of 1 yard of fabric)thread Cut the fabric into 18″x18″ squares. While I was cutting the fabric, Lucy wanted to try and help me. Thanks for the help, Luce. Press under the edges about a 1/4″ twice.
