Michelle of A Can of Crafty Curiosities practices her satin stitch and expresses her Canadian pride with this colorful hoop. She says,

As a document designer and a stitcher, this hoop hit me dead center. Kim of A Dork with a Needle has interpreted greeked text in embroidery. These famous words are used to stand in for the copy when a publication is being designed before the writing has been finished. Kim chose these words because she wanted to practice her skills …

Carolyn Foley of Caro-Rose-Creations is sharing photos of a Sri Lankan tablecloth in her collection. She says, “There are a lot of Indian elements in this piece of embroidery but it is still typically Sri Lankan.” The artist used just a few simple stitches, but the combination of detail, geometry, and color is striking and luxurious.

I am crazy for this work in progress by Marta Brysha of Silk and Color. It’s gorgeously textural–a thing of beauty even if you know nothing of the backstory. But consider this: She says,
My source image is a satellite photograph of the Turpan Depression, a mountainous region spanning from Tadjikistan to China. The image inspired me because of the

Wow. Really. Wow. Look closely at that pendant. The stitched image is worked entirely in couched goldwork. The maker, Charlotte Bailey of Hanging by a Thread, says,
Simple, really: work an oval of couching, chop it up (!) and mount it into a charity-shop-scavenged find with Superglue.
She has a number of contemporary Or nue experiments on her blog. Go …

Jafagirl spotted some metal mesh panels that someone was throwing out and rescued them, recognizing them as a perforated surface that begged to be embroidered. I especially like that her “stencil embroidery” combines straight stitch and wonky cross-stitch to produce a much more textural work than conventional cross-stitch. Awesome awesome work. See more at her JafaBrit blog post.…
