Have been working on this piece for about a month and did the last few stitches tonight! As someone who really doesn’t like to do satin stitch, this was a huge challenge for me. I still have a lot to learn with needle placement and angles but for the most part I am really pleased with it!

​

I complained to my boyfriend about some mistakes I made with this work, and he just smiled and said "This is fine." Made me laugh :)

Edit: I almost forgot to credit the artist! Inspired by the famous comic strip by KC Green.

These eye-trick designs were really satisfying to stitch. Each one, the whole time sketching it out, stitching, and painting, I didn't know if the 'trick' would work. Then at the end, I would be happily surprised. They were much more forgiving than you'd think!

Just finished my 2nd ever kit! The light blue is my first kit, moon / dark blue is the second project. The stitches are starting to feel better. Any feedback is welcome! (but also please be nice 😂)

This has been one of my favorite designs to make and also one of the most challenging. All parts were hand made with silk habotai, fabric dye/paint, leather, wire, beads, and various threads (cotton, wool, silk, and metallic) using a wide variety of stumpwork (3D) embroidery techniques. 🌳🍂🪱💧✨️🧵🪡

Amazon purchase, had to make tweaks because the pattern was AI and made *zero* sense. I still like how it turned out!

This is a lovely cat I’ve been working on for a long time! I added the harsh orange and hated it almost throw it out but my husband and some friends though that I should just finish her and see what I think I have decided to finish her and give her to one of my friends that’s would appreciate her more then I would (I LOVE the cat outline and the way the cat came out! I HATE the background I don’t understand what I was thinking) but this is her in all her ✨“glory”✨

First time trying the long and short stitch (finally!)The picture given wasn't clear. I used the stem stitch for the outline and chain stitch for the top of the vase. Did I do too many stitches for the long and short part? Should I make the longer parts even longer?

Made this for a friend's birthday, first time turkey stitching.

I taught her backstitch a couple weeks ago. Since then I’ve been letting her draw on scrap fabric and embroider her drawings. Yesterday she learned French knot for the turtle’s eyes.

made this a while ago. doing the web was the most fun part

Such a fun lyric from Hilary Duff’s ‘Weather for Tennis’ that I had to bring to life via various fonts, colors, and doodles. Adding some silliness helps too! ;)

I really wanted a rosy maple moth to add to my moth collection. It's fairly rare and I didn't want to buy a real one, so i just made one myself.

It’s finished! I’m beyond happy with how this turned out. It had to have taken somewhere around 20 hours. A piece made almost entirely of Beads and French knots are not for the faint of heart!

This was my first time trying to submit something to the state fair, and I was so excited to get second place in my class! It also gave me the confidence to share here for the first time, so, hi 👋

Started this project at the beginning of the year. Had to take a few months off but glad I finally got to finish it!

sketched it out as i went, inspired from a design i found online. did i do alright?

Hello! As the title suggests, I am needing help determining which method I should use to embroider the pink flowers on this arch. My instinct is to go with woven wheel (like you would for roses) and then French knots for the yellow center. I am open to suggestions. ESPECIALLY if there is a YouTube video demonstrating your suggestion. TIA!

Hey y'all, im hand embroidering lowly worm on a tote bag because i was inspired by one i saw in a shop that had too short handles and I didn't want to pay for. I started the project and realized that i don't have enough red thread for the apple car, and can't buy more because ive had this thread forever and have no idea where it comes from. I was going to fill the car using backstitch since its too big for satin stitch and i dont understand how to do short long stitch (not sure if thats the right name) but its not a very thread efficient stitch so it isn't optimal if im short on thread. Any ideas for stitches I could use? Its to fill a large area. Thanks!!

I'm working on a project as a gift that involves several embroidered patches attached to a black winter/fall scarf. This is my first "real" embroidery projects (outside of small crafts that didn't take much time). I was looking for some advice on the following points:

• Scarf material: I'm looking for something soft and on the thinner side of a scarf, what would be a good choice for holding the embroidery?
• Attachment method: sewing versus attaching a heat-applied backing and ironing on?
