I had prepared these items for a stumpwork portrait and I thought I would be able to get started on it at any rate, even if I did not finish until much later.
Then by sheer luck a two-hour-assignment was cancelled and I found myself with enough time to finish the whole portrait. I even mounted it on a piece of cardboard and slipped it into a window card, ready to be sent off to someone's birthday!
I must admit, however, that there aren't a lot of true embroidery stitches on these stumpwork ladies! They are more appliqué than embroidery.
Did you have a good day of embroidery? Did you stitch with others? Will the world have more enthusiastic needleworkers next year?

Glad you could grab a few hours for yourself. Missing your posts.
what a lovely card you made Queenie very expressive and I love the hair, only a tiny bit of stitching from me yesterday as I was busy getting the windows 10 update which took nearly all day to get right and now the computer is going slow
Your lady is very cute glad you had time to sew.
Well done.
Unfortunately - I had no time to stitch on this important day -- ha. There came unforseen happenings. Your stumpwork Lady ist fantastic. Tell me, please, what kind of fabric you are using for the face.
Cute lady. Creatively done.
Oops, I didn't even know it was world embroidery day! I'll have to celebrate it belatedly!
beautiful lay and beautiful card
I see the embroidery and you are skilled with a needle and thread! Thanks for sharing your portrait, beautiful.
Love your glamorous lady and the recipient would be so happy to receive her.
I think even the smallest amount of any stitching for World Embroidery Day would count. I was unable to stitch at all, alas.
I too miss your many enjoyable posts but sometimes life makes its own direction.
I love your little stumpwork portraits! I had a teeth cleaning appointment and was able to work on a little fob while waiting. I had several ladies come to see what I was doing.
Yes i did a little stitching but all alonge I'm afraid. I haven't found anyone on my island who stitches unfortunately. But I thought of all those other stitchers in the world and how we all love embroidery. I love your little lady, such a personality, and I to miss your posts.
Such a lovely stumpwork lady, it makes a pretty birthday card! I did a lot of stitching in World embroidery day, but cannot show it yet.
Your stumpwork lady is fantastic! I really have to learn stumpwork someday... On the 30th, my in-laws and I went to the beach with a Dutch relative that was visiting, so I did not manage any embroidery but we had a great visit! Perhaps next year..
A nice stumpwork lady, I did some cross stitch on embroidery day, not exactly embroidery but at least I was still stitching
I didn't realise that it was World embroidery day, but I did some anyway. Love your stumpwork lady.
I still want to learn how to do stumpwork! You are so busy these days but anytime you want to give a tutorial I'm a willing student!
Actually I did begin to take pictures for a tutorial and when given enough time can 'whip up' it up. Alas, at the moment, I hardly have time to breathe. Just completed the NHK Partnership block and wondering if it will be refused or not (there is fusible web...)
