The Accidental Embroiderer

Some more strange designs

A couple of weeks ago I posted two designs that I was doing for a quilt – the designs requested were quite unusual and reflected the interests of the person who was going to receive the quilt. So I had to design and stitch some mushrooms, and then a frog, and this was about the first time that I had been asked for embroideries of such interesting subjects

Well, this week we have two more more unusual designs. More mushrooms – chanterelles this time. And strangest of all we have three snails! The thought of making an embroidery of snails had never ever occurred to me

…and some snails

 

It’s been a lot of fun designing and digitising these unusual things, and quite a change from what I normally do. Maybe I should try to break out of the “conventional” box a little more often!

  1. These designs are Wonderful. I love the unique idea of the snails digitized in a circle. The mushrooms are lovely. Are you going to be doing some more forest or garden type plants and insects?
