Hand embroidery

I hand embroidered and appliqued for my second son the other day! I just did a rough sketch and to see the balance of the picture. And after that it is mainly free-hand emboridery. I used adhesive interfacing to attach the sail and boat parts, then applied the zig-zag stitch using a sewing machine around the edges. Once you complete it, I placed it onto a cardboard, but not too thick, then put it into a picture frame. Here you go, you got the original art in the room!
