I embroidered all the design outlines and then filled in the white with corresponding colours in colour pencil. I then made it up into a cushion.
Isn’t she sweet to want to give such a meaningful gift?

It’s with great excitement that I announce my second embroidery pattern is now available in my Etsy shop. Why the excitement? Well, it’s a lot of work to create a pattern, beginning with the first sketch, then the embroidery itself and finally the writing of instructions and having the file ready to send. So for me, it’s an achievement to start and finish a project like this. But I do so love it š
Hope you love it too. Happy Stitching!
I like small things. I like small projects that I can finish fairly quickly but look effective. This little hoop is 3 inches (8cm ) across. Here’s the process:
This is how the piece looks out of the hoop, but I chose to mount in the hoop to hang on the wall. I can see a whole bunch of these grouped together, how cute would that look?

Now, if I was a wealthy woman I wouldn’t hold back – silk ribbon would be my embroidery of choice. I just find it so captivating. Unfortunately, it is not the most affordable hobby so I don’t indulge very often.
See the little spider making it’s way to the web?
This is my WIP – a redwork on linen designed by my husband and me and will be made into a cushion. I may release a pattern of this one too, I’ll keep you posted on that š
Hope you’re having a great day, see you soon!

The wings are all detached and the body embroidered directly onto the fabric.
So now I just need to finish and assemble my samplers and I’m ready for my assessment in a few weeks, how exciting to have come so far! I’m already planning what to learn next and I feel it must involve silk ribbons!
Slowly but surely I’m working on what will be my final piece for my stumpwork course assessment.
Although it’s a lot of work I am getting so much out of this project.
I never really imagined using so many varied techniques and materials in one piece before and am feeling like I have just received my embroidery licence and can do what I want for the first time!
Although it’s primarily a stumpwork project I’m incorporating silk ribbon embroidery, beading and surface embroidery. Although I drew a detailed design I find myself deviating from that by experimenting and just “winging it”. I can’t wait to see the end product, it’s really exciting.
