my latest book embroidery project is one of my favorite books and favorite covers: THE WISTERIA SOCIETY OF LADY SCOUNDRELS by india holton with cover art by dawn cooper 💜 i spent a lot of time mix-and-matching thread shades and stitch techniques to really try to bring it to life. i loved building out the vines (chain stitches) and flowers and leaves (long and short stitches), but my favorite was bringing ned and cecilia to life. three shades of purple and three types of stitches for her gown; blending threads from two different skeins for ned’s suit; some of the tiniest stitches i’ve ever done for their pistols. this was a challenge in the best way and i’m so happy to share the results with you!
