Five stitched square poems, edged in beadwork. The poems read: void when read once, take when foil torn, onus lies with user, near miss then this, left lane must exit.
Final set of five teeny poems. All edged and backed, their own small poem-objects now.

Four squares of stitching, each is a stitched four word poem: left lane must exit, near miss then this, void when read once, onus lies with user. The squares are edged in beadwork.
I'm a little in love with these. I'm looking forward to working on the full scale versions, but these tiny sample poems make me very happy.

This will get a border, so it's not quite finished. But it makes me smile, so I wanted to share it.

Mesh canvas with sampled needlepoint stitches in various colours and threads. Mostly letters, but also some grids of crossed stitches.
When I'm working on a new piece, I often create a 'side cloth' where I can do a few quick stitches to try out a colour, stitch or thread. It really helps me make decisions and not have so much unstitching.
Do you sample as you work?
#embroidery #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint #sampling
A photo showing needlepoint samples in the foreground. The stitching is of block letters in different colours. The background shows graph paper with lettering sketched out in coloured pencil. Scissors and threads are stacked up on top of the paper.
Sampling for a new series maybe. A thought that's been brewing for a while.

Embroidery in purples and blues, geometric patterns on gridded fabric.
Loving these stitch structures.

A long piece of canvaswork embroidery in greens and greys.
I finished the stitching on this a few days ago and forgot to post. Looking forward to finishing the edging.

Four stitched shapes on a white background. Each shape is a soft arched D shape with a geometric pattern in different colours.
New shape! A small plummy purply shape I finished today as a kind of colour test. I wasn't sure if it would be okay with a white edge, but I think it works.
Already stitching the next one :D

Three embroidered shapes, longish rectangles arranged on a white background. The shapes are embroidered in shades of green and grey in geometric patterns and edged in white.
New shapes.

An embroidered shape, in greens and greys. The white mesh fabric it's stitched on is visible around the edge. The stitches are simple straight stitches in different lengths forming simple geometric areas.
A new green shape, stitched and ready for edging.

A cushion embroidered in stripes and zigzags in dark browns, golds, muted greens. It's on a pale cream coloured couch with a tapestry cushion in muted greens leaning against it.
I finally finished making this embroidery into a cushion!

Stitched shapes in blue-yellow on a white blackground.
A new shape, and stitching another (peaking in from the top). Letting the blue-yellow speak to me.

Some stitched shapes in browns, crochet edged with ecru.
I stitched a shape today, then played with arranging it with some colour-family shapes.

A cross stitch project in a wooden hoop featuring two large, fully stitched blue flowers with red and green centres and green leaves. A completed yellow and black bee is stitched to the lower right of the upper flower. A second, partially stitched bee appears in the upper left, with yellow areas complete and black details still in progress. A long grey thread is loosely looped over the fabric, and a yellow enamel house-shaped needle minder is attached to the left. The hoop rests on a soft grey surface
The second bee is taking shape—mid-air and mid-stitch. One landed, one on the way. Sampler? Still neglected. Flowers unbothered, thriving as ever. Buzzing productivity.

A cross stitch project in a wooden embroidery hoop shows two completed blue flowers with red and green centres and bright green leaves. To the right of the top flower is a newly stitched yellow and black bumblebee with outstretched wings. Below it is a small green shape resembling a frog. A yellow enamel needle minder shaped like a house is attached to the fabric on the left. The hoop rests on a grey surface.
So the blob’s a bee after all—had to fly low for a “frog” meeting.
Flowers: thriving. Sampler: sulking in a corner.
It’s 1:30am. Progress made (but not where it was supposed to happen).

A piece of cross stitch work held in a wooden hoop. Two large pale blue flowers with red and green centres are stitched, one above the other. Green leaves extend from the lower flower. To the right of the upper flower is a newly added bright yellow shape, partially stitched. A yellow fabric needle minder shaped like a house is attached to the left.
Top flower: done.
Bottom flower: done.
Sampler I was meant to finish: still ignored.
New yellow thing appears! May be a bird, may be a banana. Definitely not on the original to-do list.

I'm stitching a cushion cover! If you're interested in the process (or why I say these aren't autumnal colours) you can follow the progress on my ko-fi blog. (No paywall, just me being chatty.) ko-fi.com/post/Cushion...

A close-up of a cross stitch in a wooden embroidery hoop, showing two completed pale blue flowers with red and green centres and bright green leaves. The flowers are stitched on white aida cloth, and a small enamel needle minder shaped like a yellow house is attached near the top left. The piece rests on a soft grey surface, and the edge of a yellow fabric cover is visible at the top.
Apparently I’m now in a committed relationship with these petals. Sorry, sampler. Top flower: almost complete. Bottom flower: complete. Sampler I was supposed to be finishing: still ignored. #crossstitch #WIP #Stitching #canvaswork #tapestry #fibreart #needleart #handmade #procraftination #floralfix
A cross-stitch project in a wooden embroidery hoop shows two large, stylised blue flowers with red and green centres. The lower flower is fully stitched with green leaves, while the upper flower is now nearly complete, with all but a few petals filled in. A small yellow house-shaped needle minder with a heart on the door holds a needle to the left. A yellow floral cloth is tucked under the top of the hoop.
Update: second flower almost finished & clearly trying to steal the show. Bit of drama never hurt. Hoping whatever comes next can match the energy—or at least bring snacks.

A cross-stitch project in a wooden embroidery hoop shows two blue flowers with red and yellow-green centres. The lower flower is complete with green leaves, while the upper flower is partially stitched with visible petal outlines. A triangular house-shaped needle minder holding two needles is attached to the fabric. A yellow floral cloth is tucked under the top of the hoop.
Update: what I thought might be a bird has revealed itself as a second flower. Nature is healing, symmetry is winning. Still no idea where it’s all going, but we bloom on. #crossstitch #WIP #Stitching #canvaswork #tapestry #fibreart #needleart #handmade #crafting #textileart #embroidery #needlework
