French knot stashbuster. I used up some floss that I'd bought at Woolworth's. NB the Woolworth's brand went out in the 90's. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie #stashbuster

Surface embroidery, beadwork, stumpwork, and occasional sewing. Also sometimes some snark, because I'm an engineer by training.
Having fun with frames, plus snuck in a few magnets. The magnets are about an inch in diameter. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
Finished the "Uncommon Stitches" #ega correspondence course. I'd never worked with metal passing thread before. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie #wyvern #dragon
Another frame from the stash sale. Just French knots and lazy daisy stitch this time #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
Got two empty frames at a stash sale, and then embroidery happened. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
Filed under "more things I learned the hard way": denim from old jeans is often too thick to work with my button maker. Luckily I have a lot of very worn-out denim. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie #upcycling

Work-in-progress of the wyvern from the #EGA course "Uncommon Stitches", which includes stitches like the corded lark's head on the flower stems and the plaited braid with a twist on the silver oval. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie #wip
Finally thought of something to do with variegated perle cotton. Trellis stitch, whipped chain stitch, French knots, and some fun beads. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
Reverse appliqué experiment with trellis stitch and buttons. It looks a bit like an owl's face to me. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
First attempt at trellis stitch wasn't entirely successful (got too aggressive about reducing the stitches in the middle third), but it worked out in the end. The button is 1 inch in diameter. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
The drawing comes from a book by Dina's Art, with my stitch choices and colors. Stitches include chain stitch, whipped chain stitch, needlewoven picots, outline stitch, satin stitch, French knots, split stitch, and blanket stitch. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie #upcycling
Quick project today. This sachet is filled with lavender from my yard. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
Once again, this started with a button, plus gold cord and a lace fragment from my stash. Embroidery stitches include lazy daisy, herringbone, and French knots. The final piece is 3.5"x5". #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
Having cut the legs off of these old jeans for another project, I figured out what to do with the top part - a basket #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie #upcycling
Found this button, and an embroidery ensued. 3.5"x5", stitches include chain stitch, French knots, bullion knots, back stitch, blanket stitch, couched trellis stitch, Cretan stitch, and herringbone stitch. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
Recently found myself with with two shoeboxes of buttons. This didn't make much of a dent. Stitches include chain stitch, buttonhole stitch, French knots, couched trellis stitch, Cretan stitch, and feather stitch. #embroidery #broderie #handembroidery
Dense embroidery and fabric flowers. The final project is 5"x7", stitches include bullion roses, lazy daisy, French knots, herringbone, threaded backstitch, chain stitch, blanket stitch, feather stitch, and couched trellis stitch. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
Time to reuse some buttons and lace, and of course denim #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie #upcycling
Got six yards of the sparkly fabric used in the upper right and lower left. Final project is 4"x6", so this didn't make much of a dent :). #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
4x6, stitches include bullion roses, French knots, couched trellis stitch, buttonhole stitch, detached chain stitch, Cretan stitch, whipped chain stitch, herringbone stitch, threaded back stitch, and fly stitch. #embroidery #handembroidery #broderie
More fun with buttons, and with bullion knots, chain stitch, spider webs, and French knots #embroidery #broderie #handembroidery #roses
The Regency-style patch attached to my daughter's tote bag, made from old jeans. We call it the Bag of Theseus because so many pieces have been replaced over time. #embroidery #denim #upcycling
So excited for @mverant.com !
