Work In Progress Wednesday.
I continued work on the
Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler
by adding #14 Norwich Stitch, #108 Crow's Foot Stitch, #127 Amadeus Stitch to go with the Walneto Stitch I worked last week.
Waste canvas was a great help to make the stitches even.
Recently Shami of My Craft Works made a Herringbone Video Tutorial. Please have a look, Shami makes such great tutorials and videos, well worth checking out.
This video inspired me to make some leaves and flower buds.
I also started making a stuffed toy elephant for a little boy. Alas I have run out of wadding to stuff it with. The shapeless elephant body, like a punctured balloon, is a somewhat sad sight. Therefore I will post a picture when the animal has been well fed with fluffy stuff.
Hopefully by next WIPW report he has gained enough weight, or volume in any case.
Beautiful embroidery additions!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm looking forward to seeing the little elephant.
It's been my experience that one never has enough stuffing!
ReplyDeleteNice variety and colors! I look forward to seeing the stuffed elephant.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful arrangement of the stitches and beautiful also. I've saved Shami's link- Thank you for sharing. I hope you get the stuffing soon. Can't have a flat elephant laying about the house.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your elephant! That makes me think I should make a stuffed animal for my grandson! I remember making stuffed cats and stuffed bears for my kids.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitchery.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Waste canvas! I had forgotten about that stuff. I will get some so that I can try those stitches! Thanks!
