r/Embroidery

I know it’s just another floral embroidery, but I wanted to do some flowers that grow native (actually, no idea if they’re native, but they were in my PNW garden when we moved in, and I haven’t yet killed them in 5 years, so I say native enough). Forget-me-nots, strawberry geranium, and lily-of-the-valley. I started this a year ago, hated how the lily-of-the-valleys turned out, and stuffed it in a cabinet for 10 months. Recently had a lot of hours sitting in waiting rooms, so decided to power through. I might have to keep adding to my little flower garden!

I made this blanket for a friend. The name is embroidered by hand, I haven't tried a satin stitch before but I'm satisfied with the result! I used cotton poplin and piqué fabric.

You can find the tutorial for the blanket here, it's very simple for beginners!

Simetría Proscrita es una exploración textil personal sobre la belleza escondida en lo que nos enseñaron a ignorar.

Esta es la primera pieza que hago bajo este concepto y, para ser honesta, el mayor desafío que he asumido. No soy ninguna experta bordando; esta es apenas mi cuarta pieza usando la técnica de needle painting (pintura con hilo), pero sin duda es la más grande, realista y compleja que he hecho en mi vida.

Es una interpretación basada en la lámina científica de QA International, un intento de retratar la anatomía real y la perfección biológica de la Rattus norvegicus sin pedir disculpas por su existencia.

Más allá de las 55 horas de dedicación, para mí esto fue una invitación a revisar mi propia mirada. Al final del día, creo que si algo aquí nos incomoda, no está en el hilo; está en la forma en que aprendimos a ver.

Me encantaría saber qué ven ustedes cuando miran este bordado o si han intentado texturas similares con el pelo. 🖤🧵

Just finished this project depicting the James Webb Space Telescope. Design based off of a NASA coloring page :)

I’m intending to give as a gift it to my sister who was just accepted into the Space Force.

Recently I became very frustrated when most of the top results for embroidery patterns on Pinterest turned out to be AI slop. Eventually I decided to plagiarize the plagiarism machine and self-pattern this design based on one of those images, fixing the nonsensical elements and adding some of my own ideas. I’m usually very critical of my own work, but this time I couldn’t help but love every imperfection because yes, it may have turned out a bit wonky and asymmetrical, but at least it was made by actual human hands.

Idk why people show the backside tbh but I saw other people do it and I wanted to be like the cool kids

Baby duck embroidered on felt padding! Pattern from “Stumpwork Embroidery and 3D Stitching” by Megan Zaniewski

Created an embroidery outline based on a Tibetan Buddhist tapestry. Almost finished the black line embroidery. You can kinda see what's done in the darker outlines. Can't wait to put the colour in.

I got this finished (finally!) my original plan was to put it in a fancier hoop to hang, but the one I have is too small.

I thought about framing it instead. But how do you get it taught like it is in the hoop in the frame?

Just a little kit from Michael’s. Lots of room to grow on technique but i think it came out alright :)

It was a birthday gift to my mom back in December. I started in October. I drew the design based off a picture I found but I realized it was AI so I made it my own.

This was a really fun project but it certainly challenged me more than I am used to, but that is becuase I tend to always try and stay in my comfort zone. I want to try more thread painting and maybe eventually try a bigger portriate. Starting with a small design helped me not be too intimidated.

Kid was having fun watching me do some hand quilting and wanted to try, so I loaded up a yarn needle with sashiko thread, and some old fabric in an embroidery hoop. Kid poked the needle through the top and I poked it back up through the bottom for him to grab and pull. He pointed at various bits and said "bunch of purple jet planes" multiple times, and thusly have I titled it.

I wanted to practice embroidery so I made this 8ball on a jacket I got from good will I've gotta stop using tear away it ruins some of my projects
