Vi's Embroidery Thread! (pun unintended)
I've been looking for a place to post my embroidery for a while now and remembered the CB, so here I am :D I started stitching when I was 10-11, took a break for a couple of years, and only just started back up again in January. My mom introduced me to the art, but mostly she just got the ball rolling-- almost all of what I know now is self-taught (with ample help from the internet, of course). My favorite stitches are French knots and split stitch, and I usually use three- or six-strand floss.
That's all I can think of to say for now! I'm planning to finish a piece tomorrow, which I'll probably post soon, but if this thread is up before then I might send in an older piece first :)

Final piece!! I really don’t like how the turkey work (fluffy part of the bee) turned out-- I don’t think it was the right stitch for that area, I think I executed it poorly, and I think I used the wrong colors of floss. Otherwise... I’m pretty proud of this!! I’ll update you all after convention :D
Stitches used: outline stitch ("outline" of wings, flower stems), backstitch (antennae, interior wings, small bees' wings), satin stitch (head, legs, abdomen, small bees, blue flower), running stitch (small bees' trails), couching (lettering), French knots (lilacs, center of other flowers), woven rose (pink flowers), and fishbone stitch (leaves)
