Beehive Crewel Embroidery
I’ve made a companion crewel design to the popular Bee’s World. The bees are such fun to stitch, I doubt I will be able to keep myself from making another pattern with this theme.

February 2013: What is there to be afraid of?
That’s the real title of my latest project but I will come back to that in a moment. Last week I had a serious case of stitcher’s block. Actually it’s still there, but I can’t let it stop me. It’s not a lack of project ideas or designs or anything, but it’s a matter of

January Embroidery Journal Project
Here I am finally! This time I have my embroidery journal project along with me. This year I decided to give myself more freedom with the size of the project to allow the size to suit the project instead of the other way around. I like the 4 x 4 inch format though, so I

More Crewel Embroidery
Here I am once again with a new finish. The first for the new year! Although I have cheated by working on this during December too. It’s already been nearly a week since I finished this. The color choices caused me great pains. I somehow managed to pull it together well enough for it to

My latest finish: I borrowed the center of the art exhibit project I have been working on (which is finished and shipped off!) to make this project. I thought it was a fun a design and I wanted to have it as a “memory” of the art project for my stack of crewel squares I

Ladybugs!
These little guys must be one of the sure signs of summer. I don’t see many around here, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking about them. For this project I decided to do things just a little differently. That is my “process” for making a design. I made my pencil sketch as usual. My
Cloudberries
Hi all, I’m back from family vacation time. I had a great time, but it’s always nice to be back to the regular schedule! I’m ready to go on some new projects with some new blogging energy. Hopefully the energy will sustain me for a good while into the future! I’ve been thinking to do
Embroidery Projects
Here I finally am with a short summary of recent projects. This is the crewel version of my fruit wreath. The original fruit wreath was stumpwork: This is the footstool that the fruit wreath was made for. It’s about 10 inches in diameter. This is part of my effort to bring embroidery “off the wall”.
