After that monster curtain project I was sitting with bunches of floss that were not bad, but that I did not bother to wind back onto each bobbin. So I started doodling, and I found it very relaxing.
First the wip~
Then the finished product~
And now more close shots than were most likely needed~
I like the little pear that I tossed in there- this was my first time doing a whipped chain stitch and I think I love it.
This was the first time that I played with Bullion stitches, they were tricky at first but I found them to be a neat experience and I keep thinking that now I need to find a pattern and add cat tails to it.
I also love the chance to just play with the stitches and try things that normally I may not just because it does not fit into the pattern.
I have a new Wip that I'm making for my cubicle at work... I'll post shots later this weekend I think as long as time allows~ these images should allow clicking for larger sizes.
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteHi, I also found you via Craftster. Great work! I also love the curtain. I don't think I will have the patience for such a big project though. Is it all your own designs?
ReplyDeleteLovely doodle!
ReplyDeleteI must go back to your curtains. What a patience!
PS : I like your dog too.
Oh boy! A new blog to follow! Your work is beautiful - I love the way the colors all flow into one another. I found you at Mr. X-Stitch and at Craftster. I'm joining your site!
ReplyDeleteI just happened to stumble upon your blog and was awesomely struck by the colors and the way this doodle was done. Very impressive! I was going thru almost each stitch that was done on teh doodle tryign to recognise them, especially since I am working on a stitch tutorial project myself. :)

ReplyDeleteYou most certainly may.
"hi, wonderful piece, but i cant find the pear and its driving me crazy!!!"
It's hanging from the Green tree like vine- my husband thinks it is too pointy for a pear but I still see a pear when I look at it!
I am just thrilled that you all like it! Thank you for you encouraging comments

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Found you via the link of kamal kadai. Thanks for the mention :)
ReplyDeleteOh Ms. Kitty, I am in love!! Love, love, love this piece. I do a bit of this myself, but buttons and beads are where it is at for me. I think you are the bomb!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing work! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI saw this on a January post @ Mr X Stitch and just wanted to say how absolutely amazing it is! I love the idea of doodle embroidery - did you draw it first or just make it up as you embroidered? It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteLindo, lindo, lindo! Quero aprender a fazer! Um abraço.
ReplyDeleteWow your work is amazing!! I embroidered a lot when I was a teen, and have been thinking about starting again, and teaching my young daughter. Your work is inspirational!!! Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work. Can I teach to other stitching ladies?
