Custom order for my flicker pal! Hand crafted felt flower brooches. Each was created from hand cut felt pieces in different shapes, sizes, designs and colors. Each on has its own unique style. The colors were chosen based upon coordinating fabric yarn from the buyer. The idea is to combine these brooches with her great fabric purses and bags.
A project that has been waiting for the finishing touch for quite a while.
This is my December 2019 General Election piece which lay on the unfinished pile waiting for a canvas backing. It was finished today.
I usually make an item to record the run up to an election and this time I took a photograph of a wall, and digitally manipulated it to include the Star of David, some text and my painting of a bleeding Union Jack.
I had this commercially printed on to cotton and then added sashing and hand embroidery.
I wonder if future generations will be able to decipher the symbols and text meaning?
It measures 8 inches by 10 and is wrapped around a commercial canvas.
I don't usually exhibit my election pieces as they are meant for my own private collection
Made this table runner from fabric that I had on hand for the Fourth of July.
The base is linen, and all the circles are cotton.
The circles were first sewn in place using a singular machine-sewn line in red thread. Then I hand-embroidered each one in place so the table runner can be washed.
There is a very thin cotton batting in the middle of the table runner.
Handembroidered long sleeved onesie with an adorable cross stitch puppy from a vintage hot iron transfer. Available in my Etsy shop.
Using the Santa's Sleighfull" font from dafont.com (a place to download free fonts from the internet), I printed out the word "thank you."
I placed a piece of cardstock over the paper which was on top of a light board (you could also hold it up to a window to see the lettering).
Using a needle, I put holes in the paper over the letters. (It's important that you don't do it too close or your paper will rip as you sew.)
Using 6 strands of embroidery floss, I sewed (using the backstitch) from hole to hole.
After cutting the lettering out, I placed foam stickers on the back and affixed it to the blue paper which I had glued onto a 4"x6" piece of cardstock.
This is the first time I've embroidered on paper, and it is not a forgiving craft. You don't have any flexibility to change (essentially) once you've punched the holes into the paper (you can't take away what you've already punched).
You also need to be careful not to bend the paper as you embroider because that will show up in your final product.
With that being said, I did enjoy doing hand-embroidered cards, and have another one that I just finished yesterday afternoon for Easter with 3 rabbits on it.
(This card was sent to California for a swap on Swap-Bot.)

For Noah, the embroidered sugar skull is Sublime Stitching: Dias de los Muertos.
In tribute to a school project that I was able to help with (he scored 125 out of 100 - that's New Math, I think). :)
The color is off (too much flash?), see entire pic for with the closest actual color representation. Pictures taken by my nephew via phone (thank you)!
I re-did the image I use for my custom coffe sleeve listing. I felt it was time - the old photography was still decent, but the new 'style' I adopted is more consistent, I think.

Using a needle, I put holes in the paper over the letters. (It's important that you don't do it too close or your paper will rip as you sew.)
Using 6 strands of embroidery floss, I sewed (using the backstitch) from hole to hole.

RE DO - I had the movie quote out of order (auugh!) and had to do it over. I found a deeper purple pillowcase for Round 2, and was VERY careful with pen marks this time. :)
The flipside of Vona's pillowcase. Letters from Embroidery Pattern "Daisy Chain Sampler" by Rosy Little Things (rosylittlethings.com/daisychainsamplerpattern.html).
I altered the "Q" into an "O" because I preferred it over the "O" in the pattern, but otherwise, the pattern is intact (I think).
A couple of accidental pen marks are stubbornly not coming off no matter what I do - I may have to add some daisies there or something...
Anubis bag with Anubis statue facing the camera a bit more and Egyptian Tarot cards.. The top card is 'The Moon'. This is a lovely deck by Clive Barrett. I have Hand Embroidered him with metallic threads.
I made this case for myself, to carry my work outside. I used scraps of fabrics I particularly love: the rest of an aqua cotton I've painted for other projects, which I then decorated with a very simple and slow hand stitching; a green tie dye cotton that used to be a bag; scraps of my second collection, and, of course, some linen with its natural smell of plants that I love so much.
Looking at the selected fabrics as a whole, their colours and hues, the reflection of white on greens, something reminded me of places with water, lakes, ponds, reeds... Maybe because of that, without even noticing, I've chosen a piece of wood, from my collection of nature found objects, for the closure, and a cord I made with the wool that is left from this sweater. And while I was stitching the wood to the fabric, I felt like weaving... what ended up being my favourite detail in this case.

For a friend who house-sat while I was away. I offered to pay her, but she opted for a couple of embroidered pillowcases, instead. ?? The "Vona" pillowcase for her sister was the actual request; I figured I need to throw in an extra for her.
Logo from fan sites, the font is from free font site on Internet. Embroidered on pale, pale blue 300-count pillowcase.
This artist trading card (ATC) is for the "Felt Food on an ATC" swap on Swap-Bot. It's a cupcake on a plate.
It is the standard size (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") and made from wool felt (with the exception of the white frosting which is acrylic felt).
The sprinkles are done with pink and purple embroidery floss.
All the pieces and the card itself are hand-sewn using the blanket-stitch.
This card was sent to sewfun4u.
This bears the image of Teresa Billington-Grieg who was a Women's Social and Political Union organiser and founder of the Women's Freedom League.
I made it today because I am going to the NEC in Birmingham tomorrow to see the Stitching and Hobbycraft Show and I fancied wearing a new brooch.
Say hello if you see me about.!
The base is silk to which I have added the photocopy with PVA. I then covered the copy with gloss medium and then hand stitched through it at random. This was stretched over a padded piece of card and then I couched covered wire around the edges and added a few beads.
A very quick and scrappy piece, but i achieved what I set out to do which was have a new piece to wear tomorrow without using up a lot of time. It looks a lot better from a distance!
This zebra was sewn with satin stitch from a free pattern at Embroiderist's photostream; www.flickr.com/photos/23170389@N03/4010304517/in/set-7215...
There are so many fantastic vintage patterns at Embroiderist www.flickr.com/photos/23170389@N03/
Here we have the new photos of my bags done by a great photographer friend. Over time he will be upgrading my photos for me! Ankh is Hand embroidered with Gold metallic thread. This bag is big enough for a large sized Tarot Deck or Oracle Cards. People have also used these bags for jewellery, crystals, runes and more!
The girls are showing the fleece pocket scarves they sewed during Home Ec. They were so happy that they were able to make a scarf - something functional that they could wear - in less than an hour.
The fabric is 8" x 60" long. The ends are folded up and blanket-stitched along the edges to create two pockets.
Some of the girls were able to add buttons to their scarves (so the pockets could close). Others will finish next week. Until then, they can wear their scarf...they just won't be able to button the pockets which is fine.
The girls are between the ages of 5 1/2 years old to 8 years old. All are homeschooled.
