I think this might be my favourite piece. Pattern is from Average Jane Crafter. Embroidered on polished cotton.

Hand embroidered felt birthday badge. Grass and sky in satin stitch, flowers in French knots. You're never too old for a badge!
Olivia worked for a LONG time on this embroidered pillow. She drew the picture of her and Casey (who died in February 2008 unexpectedly due to a twisted stomach).
She misses Casey a lot, and I think having something that she created and can enjoy each day is important to her.
Sewing and embroidery helped - and will continue to help - her process her grief.
Here's a link to the photo collage I did about Casey: www.flickr.com/photos/picturesbyann/2264916582/

Part of the Duvet Project. Floral cross from vintage pattern acquired in lot from eBay (pattern also in Hoop Love Vintage Transfers courtesy of chez60).
I'm not sure how I feel about my color choices. This took forever because I ripped out the original stitching I did on the little blue flowers (to change to THESE blues).
A bit nervous because like a ninny, I ironed the original vintage transfer onto the duvet. The test pattern worked out great (lulling me into a false sense of security) - but this pattern left some yellow-ish discolorations that I HOPE wash out.
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments. She really does look much better with the shading.

I am due to deliver a finished piece for exhibition on Saturday, and it isn't even started yet
The theme is (of course) the suffragette, Emma Sproson, who was placed in solitary confinement in Stafford Gaol for her activities.
This confinement took place just after her "confinement" with child, and she was obliged to leave the baby with her husband as babies were not allowed in gaol in those days.
I imagine Emma yearning for her child and sitiching a cap for it for when she was released.
I am trying here to denote the passage of time, which I imagine was very much at the front of Emma's mind whilst in gaol.
In the first sample I've used wheatsheaf stitch, which, whilst attractive, lacks impact.
The second sample is more direct, but I think the red thread is a distraction.
Back to the drawing board.
* First bag in a new series of shoulderbags.
This bag is made out of a vintage fabric from the 1950's, it is lined and has a zippered pocket inside. The front is hand embroidered after a picture from a 1951 French fashion magazine.
The bag is one out of a limited edition of three identical bags (as far as handmade and hand-embroidered bags can be indentical).
* Eerste tas in een nieuwe serie schoudertassen.
Deze tas is gemaakt uit een vintage stof uit de jaren 50, is gevoerd en voorzien van een zak met ritssluting aan de binnenkant. De voorkant is handgeborduurd naar een plaatje uit een Frans modetijdschrift uit 1951.
De tas is er eentje uit een beperkte oplage van drie identieke tassen (voor zover handgemaakte en handgeborduurde tassen identiek kunnen zijn).

Her dress is not quite sewn up yet... and she's wearing one of my mom's new creations - a hooded cardi. It is soooo cute!

This is a gingerbread house Christmas ornament that I made from wool felt and cotton embroidery floss. It is about 3 1/2" tall and 2" wide. It is hand-embroidered using the blanket-stitch.
This ornament is available in my shop. Please see my Flickr profile for the link to my shop. (Another version was made for a Christmas ornament swap on Swap-Bot and sent to SewingBea.)
These leaves on a branch was stitched with six shades of green and the branch was stitched with combined green and brown threads. photostream
I found this pattern at embroiderist photostream, I can't find the link right now but I'll add it as soon as I find out.
This will become a cushion.
This is an ATC I did for a swap on Swap-Bot for the "Fabric Textile Sashiko Embroidery ATC" swap. The stitches are about 2/16" - 3/16" long; and the card is the standard ATC size of 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".
I have been intrigued with sashiko, and have wanted to try it. To be honest, I think the pre-printed fabric would be A LOT easier than trying to use a ruler and white colored pencil to mark the lines on the fabric.
Granted, this type of sashiko fabric would be for larger projects and isn't of scale for ATCs which are only 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".
So, there wasn't another option except to create a pattern by hand using some of the traditional sashiko patterns that you can find on the internet.
This card was sent to Annet (on Swap-Bot) aka fatquarter (on Flickr).
So, what is sashiko? This is from Wikipedia: sashiko means "little stabs" and is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching (or functional embroidery) from Japan.
Traditionally used to reinforce points of wear, or to repair worn places or tears with patches, this running stitch technique is often used for purely decorative purposes in quilting and embroidery.
The white cotton thread on the traditional indigo blue cloth gives sashiko its distinctive appearance, though decorative items sometimes use red thread.
