A Life in Stitches
Embroidery Studio diary
You can find articles about inspiration & ideas for embroidery, experiments, and sometimes mishaps. The Journal is a constant work in progress with sneak peeks into my world and the creative (sometimes chaotic) projects happening in The Studio.
Now where was I...????
I rarely tend to make notes or stitch plans in advance, but this time I really wish I had!
Some Crewel progress
I find that when embroidering mirror image designs, I always get a better result when I stitch both sides roughly at the same time... if I (as I would like) move on to something else and then come back to it days or weeks later - I am less likely to get the pair looking the same.
Changing projects
I always prefer to work on colour selections during the day and with this grey scale it is even more important as the tones of the grey yarns change completely at night.
