I’m quite proud of this one. First time embroidering an animal.

Just received this wonderful #needlepoint gift from my daughter. Need to frame it for my office wall.
Finishing off my short vacation by putting the final border around this little guy! #handmade #finalfantasy1 #BlackMage #needlepoint #pixelart #hobby #fiberarts #mastoart #mastocraft
New to me and discovered via MetaFilter (what, y’all don’t read MetaFilter?): The Sampler Archive. From the front page: “The Sampler Archive database has been designed to share detailed information and high-resolution images of American girlhood samplers and pictorial embroideries from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.”

Need help from the Hive Mind. My neighbor asked if I would make this needlepoint into a pillow. No problem doing that but the piece is crooked. Carefully done and on grid squarely but crooked for some reason. Would like input on how best to stray it out. Thank you!!

3 #needlepoint pieces make a sequence.
From A.E. video game.
A fun little design I made for the Christmas/Yule/Solstice season.

Painted this IWW sabo-tabby #needlepoint canvas yesterday; now time to start stitching it up!
An injury to one is an injury to all.
Behold, my first ever needlepoint project!
Absolutely loved stitching this and I will definitely be needlepointing a lot more in future. It's actually supposed to be sewn into a bowl to fully finish, but I need to source some fabric before I can do that part.
So far due to the limited selection of colours in my local craft shop, the first reaction from a friend was to call it "dreary". But I think it's cute
Anyway new craft achieved

Needlepoint is my new favourite craft!
Due to the absolute barest amount of peer pressure, I'm having my first go at needlepoint.
But I'm also recording it all for a video, so this is probably all you'll get until it's finished.
Believe it or not, it's going to be a bowl?
Also turns out bargello is super fun both to do and to say. Bargello bargello bargello!
Where it all began...
I think I was about four or five, staying with my grandparents. Grandmama found an offcut of double thread canvas, drew a little sprig and off I went.
I finally finished it years later, and she helped me turn it into a little purse to give to my mother.
I was going to use #TurkeyWork for the central boss of the #CanvasworkParterre, but my book tells me it is unsuitable for mono canvas.
Therefore, following the advice they offer, I am using #SurreyStitch instead.
The Karl Marx #needlepoint design stitched up really nicely with DMC tapestry wool and glass beads for the eyes.
I painted an extra canvas - if you are a needlepointer and would like to stitch it up, DM me and I’ll send it to you!
It is 52 stitches across (4 inches) on Zweigart 13-mesh mono canvas.
I painted my second needlepoint canvas. This is Karl Marx on 13-mesh mono canvas. The full laser-eye treatment looked too busy and confusing, so I toned it down. Maybe I’ll stitch it with two glass beads. #needlepoint #fullyautomatedluxurygayspacecommunism
In #DiscoveriesInStitchDictionaries this week, #MilanesePinwheelStitch, found in #TheNeedlepointBook by #JoIppollitoChristensen. It's tricky to get right, but I think I'm getting the hang of it!
A quick update on how this one is going. Re-drew the guidelines to help myself out a little. ^^

I suppose I haven't shared any WIPs of this one yet…? Well, I picked it up again tonight, after last working on it around Christmas time. Based on a pattern from Emelie Ferris' book, "Paint With Thread".
I need to finish it soon, the ironed-on guide lines are fading fast.
