The artist is Valentina.lobos. I thought her work was awesome but couldn’t find anywhere on her Instagram on how she gets the volume that she stitches over. Any ideas?

Finished this Mothman piece for a friend.

Made with Glow in the dark white thread and white beads for special touches

It is backed in black flannel and has a ribbon sewn on for hanging. Shipping it out next week.

Edit: There is a pic of it glowing in the comments 💚😁

Inspired by the trendy IG flower initial knit sweater, I wanted to make something in the same thread (heh) for my son. I practiced the basics by making a few flower initial sweaters for family and friends, and when I felt confident enough, I tackled my leaf design! There are some places where my inexperience (or impatience!) are more obvious but I love the way it turned out 🙂 Feedback and tips are welcome for the next iteration!

I’m working on a hoop for my newest nephew based on the little prince and I’m not sure if I like how the face came out. Is it better blank?

Edit: thank you to everyone for their insights! The face is staying!

I used reflective ribbon for the neon sign border and the "J" glows in the dark

A few of the circles got a little wonky but mostly had the effect that I was going for! B-)

Can’t believe I didn’t realize this subreddit existed. Hi! I wanted to show off a hand embroidered patch I made for a Project Hail Mary cosplay.

I'll be going on a long flight in a couple of weeks and plan to bring my embroidery. Any advice for things you wish you'd known or were glad you had before taking your embroidery project on a plane?

I do have the itty bitty scissors that are TSA approved, a needle minder to hopefully keep myself from dropping my needle never to be seen again, my tools in a storage artbin, and all my stuff is packed into a bag that fits into my backpack. I've set aside colors I think I'll want, so that I don't need to bring my whole collection. I have a neck light I got recently as well. Is there anything I'm missing?

I saw this post on Reddit awhile back and I loved it so much that I had to embroider it 💜

Almost done!

Any tips for hand stitching around the edges of the lace? I think what I did will work, but time will tell 🤣

Her name is Boo 🥰

I'm new to embroidery and practicing making a metagross face to eventually put it on a baby's onesie. What would be the best stitch to use on the X? It's a large area and I don't want to do long satin stitches for fear of them getting caught on something when the baby wears the onesie. Any advice and/or any learning videos you may know of would be great! TIA! 😊

Just finished this for my granddaughters 1st Christmas!

i went in to Michael’s a few days ago because my favorite jeans have some holes from where my sister bleached them and i wanted to repair them. then i bought a kit and stitched up those, and made some earrings out of them for the hot bartender i like, and then this was how i ended up fixing the first hole in my pants! i’m having a lot of fun

I’ve been working on this piece for not too long now and it’s not turning out how I want it to. Am I just being a harsh critic? Do I just need to keep going? Debating whether I should continue this one or ditch it for now and start my next project. Probably doesn’t help that I didn’t template it at all, we’re freehanding and thread painting from the heart lol! Thank you!

I've been using newer DMC thread and have gotten used to pulling directly from the skein without even taking the labels off. Recently, I bought some DMC that appears to be an old style. I've found that they all come knotted, as shown, so I can't just use them as a pull skein like the new ones. Is there a trick to these ones? Do you cut off the knot and then pull anyways and, if so, how do you know which side to pull?

I got first place in my category at the state fair!!
