Cot cushion for my future grandchild!

Miss Dragonfly

Hovering high above the grass

Your colours are so bright,

Graceful as a princess

Miss Dragonfly you're a sight

Dancing over the pond

Waters deep and blue,

Reflected in the surface

Another beautiful you

You rest upon a tree

So still and bold

Gleaming in the sunlight

That turns your wings to gold

Buzzing loudly, Miss Dragonfly

Humming your little tune,

Until darkness falls

With a bright shining moon.

Poem; by Daren Walker.

I used hand-dyed Organza ribbon for the wings and DMC Embroidery Cotton for the embroidery.

The wings were traced onto the Organza using an HB Pencil. To minimise fraying, I then ironed some Iron on Vilene to the back of the organza before cutting out the shapes.
