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.
Have a Lovely Easter everyone!!! Here's some happy colored pictures for you... :)

Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
These three wool felt leaves are ready to be placed on an autumn nature table as a way to celebrate the beautiful fall season. (See my Flickr profile for more information about how to obtain my handmade items.)
They also make a wonderful, all-natural play toy for children who enjoy dramatic and imaginary play.
These leaves were created from 100% wool felt and hand-embroidered with cotton embroidery floss.
So I used an image from a Victorian-style rubber stamp and attempted to convert the black-and-white image to a degree of color similar to the tones in sepia portraits.
It was really challenging, but fun, to determine where to place colors for all of the highlights and contours. My hubby doesn't think I can get the same painterly effect with cross stitch, but I think I'll try!

If you want a truly sophisticated look this fawn kurti with classic chikankari work is the best match for you.
This work is the twelfth in a series of "Remnants", which were all inspired by very old, heavily patched and stitched textiles, (such as certain types of boro and utilitarian quilts) and the old, worn and weathered rural structures that surround where I live, (and where straight lines cease to exist.)

This is a cute felt Christmas tree ornament decorated with button ornaments. The tree is 4-1/4" tall and just over 2" wide. It is made of green felt and decorated with tiny white, red, and green plastic mini buttons. The shape was made by tracing a vintage Christmas tree cookie cutter.
Hand embroidered on green cotton, using vintage pattern and my own drawing. Soon to be made into a larger item.
