My friend’s 80th birthday is in June. She lives in the woods on 30 acres and built this cabin with her partner 50 years ago.
This is my first time taking a photo and turning it into art. Once I decided how I wanted to stitch it, it ended up taking around 100 hours. I took a couple liberties… I added a little extra foliage in the front and removed the mini-split (artistic license felt necessary 😉)
A portrait of my dog done in 1 thread of DMC, 1 thread of Dual Duty XP, and 1 thread of Wonderfil 100wt on cream muslin 😮💨
This one took over 100 hours to complete 😮💨
My first hand made patch. Made to cover an imperfection on my wallet. Definitely getting fly vibes... and I forgot the stinger. Proud of the little guy!
Hi everyone, new to the community, have tried embroidery before, now want to stick at it as a hobby much needed for my mental health
I used an embroidery kit for this piece-also any ideas on what to do with finished embroidery work?
I like to do a lot of beaded elements on my work recently but these are all from between last October to now.
UPDATE: A little more history from the owner of this quilt. "Lell was my great-great grandmother's nickname, short for Luella; she's the maker. Her only child, my great-grandfather, worked for the St Paul Pioneer Press when he was very young--I think 14 or so. She was a single mom who supported them as a milliner. She sent his father away around the time Guy was born, with a promise he wouldn't contact his son for 20 years. And so it was- my great grandfather met his father when he was 20 years old."
-----------
I was visiting friends in the Midwest recently & a cousin-in-law hauled out this vintage quilt that has been in her family. We assume that all the pieces are milliner scraps, since that was the maker's profession.
Wow.
Hey, so I just started hand embroidery. I don’t know a lot of people who do embroidery, any tips or tricks?
Made with flat stitch with yarn of sheep wool on fabric made of sheep wool. So extra warm then.. Traditionally in use from the 18th century in Telemark in Norway
My 2nd attempt at hand embroidery. Been watching a lot of videos on stitches and tips. This was one of those kits, but I ended up doing my own colors and changing up stitches.
I recently got into embroidery and fell in love so I decided to challenge myself with smaller and smaller projects. These are my first attempts at charms and mounting them, which was not so fun.
This is my first time trying embroidery. I have experience of making crochet .
I recently took up embroidery to help with my mental health and, a couple of weeks ago, decided to take the plunge and create my own pattern for a friend’s upcoming birthday.
I obviously can’t take any credit for the artwork itself and decided not to over complicate it too much but I’m super proud of what I’ve managed to achieve in two weeks!
Hope you all like this too 🤗
This was done on cream muslin with 1 strand of DMC 310 and one strand of Dual Duty XP in black. The stabilizer I used for the pattern left a residue so I won’t be using that brand again (stick with stick n stitch, it won’t leave a residue). This pattern was edited on my computer using a photo provided to me. This is for my coworker whose childhood dog passed last year. He asked for a portrait and I was like “I’ll try!” bc I had never attempted something like this. But jeez you guys, I’m thrilled with how this turned out, even with its imperfections 🥹😭🥰
This is the stitch work for a pouch to a Norwegian Bunad from a part of Norway named Telemark.
A small crown born from a splash of water.
Hand embroidered on black fabric with pale blues, white, and gold thread to capture the moment a pearl is crowned by light and waves.
My fingers are absolutely sore after this but I think it’s worth it 🫡
well, sort of my first. I did embroidery when I was very little, but I barely recollect that and whether or not I finished anything
my stitches are a lil messy and i cut the fabric too small for the frame, but that’s alright :-)
