Nothing quite as soothing as stitching

I have been pretty much consumed by embroidery lately. I love experimenting with stumpwork techniques to give even more layer and dimension to what I work on....and in the last week I've come down with a really annoying case of vertigo which makes it tough to move around too much without getting really dizzy, so I've parked it on the couch with my fabric and floss, a needle ready to go, and gone stitch crazy. Some of these were made for other people, some were made just for me, and at some point I think some will end up in my etsy shop as an experiment to see if anyone would like to buy that sort of thing. They're all 2" square (so far - I will challenge myself to go smaller!). There is definitely a more natural flora and fauna type of thing going on in a lot of the squares...I'm not sure if I'll purposely keep going in that direction but we'll see.

There will be more...oh yes, there will be more.

  1. These are fan-freaking-tastic. Embroidery is something I did when I was much younger and I wish to heck I had stuck with it... now my lack of skill just irritates me... and I'd rather spend time doing work that doesn't irritate me, lol.

    But I'm a big fan of people with the skill to make such lovelies!
