I had an extremely frustrating week with not much embroidery or quilting done. After the fhising attack on my computer last week, most of this week was spend buying and installing anti-virus programs, firewalls and spyware as the free versions doesn't offer complete protection. Scanning and fixing as well as changing passwords was also very time consuming. Luckily the Trojan was removed without the need to format the computer and starting from scratch.
The little bit of embroidery eventually done, was also very trying as everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. It was really a week that I wish I could undo.
Enough moaning. Let's rather talk embroidery. Here is some pictures of the duvet cover I made for my son, Trevor aged 12, in 2009. He is a big supporter of our local rugby team, the Free State Cheetahs.
I embroidered a border of Cheetah footprints around the duvet using applique stuffed with batting to get a 3D effect.
The head was split in 14 pieces as I could only embroider 130 x 180mm at the time. The complete head measures a whopping 740 x 480mm.
I am extremely proud of the end result.
Here the duvet is spread over a double bed.
