Working on my embroidery and having such a good time.

Here is my second Embroidery project, using the leftover silk from the main project. I decided to work on two at the same time, this will be the cover for my Junk Journal which I have drawn the outside edges of the size I want it to be.

Blanket stitch on a piece of Annies soft n stable to raise it up like trapunto. I made a circle, did the green blanket stitch and knots, then cut a circle of Annies soft and stable. Put a little glue on it to hold my black stitched piece, and needle turn stitch it to the background. Then put a purple blanket stitch on. Everything is a little crude looking, but I am just trying new ideas to use in the future. Having fun, that is for sure. Thank you Alex. You are the best!!! HelenW

I
I am really enjoying this project! I went digging in my old cross stitch and embroidery supplies and got really excited to be stitching again. I had some perle cotton and bought some (okay- a lot more!). I found a fat quarter of black woven fabric in my Stacy and decided to use that. This is what I have so far.

Donna, Are you the stitcher from Colorado that checked in to the class roster thread? I love, love , love your stitches on
dark fabrics. It really makes the color of the threads pop. Your piece is exactly the type I was envisioning when Alex started
this project. I was originally going to go with Kona jet black fabric, but ended up doing grays with black silhouettes. The
hexagon shape really adds some interest. Love the thread color selection and the stitch combos you used. Absolutely fabulous.

It seems a tad influenced by Dr. Suess

Here is a photo of the Hand Embroidery books, that I put in a spiral binding myself. We live some distance from town so I used my We R Memory Keepers, Cinch machine to add the binding. So much easier to use and I added tabs to the sections on the different stiches.

I agree…very easy to get immersed. Your stitching is beautiful

The teal, lime green and orange are really bringing this to life

Carole B. Thanks for the compliment on the you tube class today, Monday.I am having fun, but my skills leave a lot to be desired. I don't do social media like facebook, subscribing on you tube etc, so I can't write comments there. HelenW

From Show 2408...Heidi showed what I thought was a great way to mount her piece on a regular canvas frame like
you buy at Michaels or any big box store. Just thought you might like to see it. HelenW

I make a jacket from my Grandmother Hayes' hankies & did two dolls embroidering the face, hair, arms, etc. I also did a butterfly. I used her butons as the band on the dresses & a big button for the face of the butterfly. She was 106 yrs. old when she passed away. Everyone can't believe I did this.I used straigh stitches, slip stitches & satin stitches for the flower centers. Thought you would love to see it.

My housework and quilting is suffering but I just can't put this down!
