The second of my paint and stitch experiments; the stitching is more prominent on this softer watercolour-style background.

Stitch Club: paint and stitch
I am loving the variety of styles in the Stitch Club workshops; some focus purely on the embroidery, while others bring in mixed media elements to enhance the process. This one started with paint.
Stitch Club: oak leaf sampler
I started my subscription to TextileArtist.org's Stitch Club with a workshop to create a modern version of a stitch sampler.
Panda in stitch
"I wonder if I can use digi stamps as embroidery patterns?" I thought. So I gave it a try and made a Valentine card.
Embroidered trees
When I first had the idea to make embroidered Christmas cards, I knew I would definitely make Christmas trees. These are the last of this year's cards.
Embroidered snowflakes
Along with designing baubles, stars and trees, I turned my hand to snowflakes, including a special extra-sparkly one.
A cottage in the hills
Another layered landscape, with even more detail and stitching than the last one I made. This one has a cottage at the heart of it, bolder flowers at the front and, of course, tiny sheep.
Embroidered stars
First the baubles, then the stars. Three different designs with a common colour palette this time.
Embroidered baubles
This year I’ve simplified my Christmas card making by choosing a few basic designs rather than making lots of individual cards. That way I could spend more time actually creating than thinking about creating.
Little layered landscape
I did it again. A last-minute idea for a birthday card that required loads of work in a short amount of time. But the finished fabric landscape was definitely worth it.
White rabbit
The subject was always going to be a bunny rabbit, I just had to figure out the rest of the design. I reached for another technique from my "want to try" list and created something different.
Tiny embroidered bouquet
I'm slowly starting to do more work with textiles in one form or another. This piece of hand embroidery is another step along the way to figuring out exactly what it is I want to create.
