A Bit More Embroidery

Here is something else I've made for the baby. I think this took me a couple of hours.  Of all the stitches I've got to grips with, chain stitch is the one I like best so I decided to use it for the heart.  This, unlike the rocket, was on a piece of fabric large enough to fit into my embroidery hoop and was on natural calico I could easily to trace my original design onto, which made it much much simpler and quicker to make!

The camera isn't quite picking up the colours. The calico looks much warmer and the red is a really lovely colour like the colour of glace cherries.
