This was soothing and easy to work on, and will integrate nicely with the rose and thorn sub theme and the brazilwood dyed lace. Of course, these panels are never really done until they’re all joined, so i expect this one to have a few additions still, whether in seam treatment or actual motif... (original story)

I am confirmed on facebook (which means it is SET IN STONE) to attend a Halloween party where the lovely hostess is dressing as Little Red Riding Hood. It isn’t fairy tale theme... (original story)

In my quest to master as least one artistic media, for the past year I’ve dabbled in hand embroidery. I know some of you will automatically think of ribbon candy and stale cigar smoke, but I love the idea of turning something old into something new, even if it’s the idea itself. We...

I think i’ve been having problems with Girl because i don’t “see” the layout all the time: with Padded Cell, i had a printout of the base fabrics and would refer back to it. How simple is that? Easy to forget sometimes! The first mockup with the choices at the time: The addi... (original story)

I love to make gifts to my friends, especially when that friend is someone I have not seen in quite some time. So, when presented with the opportunity to see a friend from my childhood, I decided to embroider a little something just for her. I adapted this free pattern so that it would reflect wha...

Sat quietly on the boat yesterday, embroidering this little feather star, my Stella Maris…a simple project, using just straight stitches and some iridescent DMC stranded polyester floss. Signs of the coming wet season fill me with a gentle melancholy, and the lovesick madness that inspired m... (original story)

This has been more than two years in the making, most of that time it has been sitting in storage. Aside from simply not working on it, it took a long time to find other embroidery pattern elements that would work with the beaded drippy heart. The embroidery, other than the heart, is a pattern from... (original story)

I was commissioned via etsy to embroider this Irish Blessing and I’m so happy I did it. It was a great experience designing where to put the applique and a great test of how much my hands can handle embroidering in one day too! I’m really pleased with how it turned out. So much so that... (original story)
