Embroidery sampler from England, 1800

From the Victoria and Albert Museum

Blanket stitch is my favourite so far. I had a sudden memory of being shown how to stitch it on the edge of blankets (obviously) by my grannie as a child.

I discovered that if I google the name of the pattern designer and the stitch, I can go straight to their tutorial video on instagram and be allowed to watch it, whereas if I go via their main page it tells me I'm not allowed to watch videos without an account. It's unnecessarily awkward, but it's working, and it allowed me to figure out wtf loop stitch was supposed to be.

Just tied the final knot in my second embroidery sampler. I don’t know if I’m doing long and short stitches right, but I like how it turned out. It’s so texturally satisfying.

Embroidery Challenge - November ‘22

This little book cover was inspired by a friend who asked me to design a panel for her featuring Australian native plants. The Waratah on the front cover was inspired by one embroidered on my sewing group’s banner. I chose red blooms in honour of my sewing group’s 40th (Ruby) anniversary. Each of the plants featured - Waratah, wattle, kangaroo paw, bottlebrush and grevillea - can be found on my property. There is, of course, a bee!

My first attempt at creating a thumbnail image for my amateur YouTube channel.

I feel like I executed my vision and I had some fun learning new Procreate skills.

The video is less than 5 minutes and contains copious photobombing by my cats. Check it out if watching me time lapse create an embroidery sampler from beginning to end sounds interesting and you’d like to give this artist a little moral support boost.

Okay, I'm finally calling this finished!

The original pattern got done a couple days ago, but I wanted to keep, uh, "doodling."

It's our first embroidery project! It's supposed to be a sampler, uh... though that little green heart is a bit chaotic, stitch-wise.

We used satin stitch, fishbone stitch, running stitch, split stitch, backstitch, chain stitch, stem stitch, and woven wheels.

Not sure what we'll do next, but this was fun.
