It’s been a week of this and that. I’ve unpacked, placed and received orders, sorted, repacked, spent time with friends, and done a little stitching.
Can you guess what this is?
Does this help?
How about now?
It’s a bug!!
Chain stitch outline, buttonhole filled wings, cross stitch, stem stitch antenna and a little satin stitch for those eyes…
All hand embroidered in eight weight hand dyed perle cotton from House of Embroidery. It’s going to be a while until I show you what I am going to do with this one and all its friends but I can promise you it will be fun 🙂
Have you left a comment for a chance to win those machine quilting goodies? Just go to my last post if you don’t know what I’m talking about. I’ll be choosing a few winners on Sunday when I get back from my trip to Decatur Quilters Guild where I’m driving tomorrow evening for a Folk Art Stitching workshop.
love, love, love your bug. Can’t wait to see your project along with all ‘his’ friends.
That is a very pretty “bug”!
Beautiful bug and such detailed stitching. Looking forward to seeing the finished project.
Beautiful
Almost looks like crochet. Pretty.
lovely embroidery stitchery I am a lover of perle thread too
For the first close-up, I thought alligator. Not! Love the little bug. Nice stitching!
A lacewing, perhaps? Lovely, lovely. I would love to take a class with you.
It’s beautiful Catherine. I enjoyed following all of the stitches.
Simply – wow!
