There's an EGA chapter near me but tragically it meets exclusively during my working hours 🥲

Small update on how this is going. Around 9h in and I'm having so much fun with it! Which is the most important thing. I'm learning a lot also! I am eager to see how it turn out.
A photo of an embroidery project in progress, staged in a hoop. On white fabric, a pink sparrow facing right is being thread painted. Its tail feathers, a few wing feathers, and a portion of its "shoulder" area have been stitchef with varying shades of brown and pink. The remainder of the bird is outlined in thin black ink directly on the fabric.

This is dangerously close to becoming something that will be thread painted

A fresh white canvas of fabric in an embroidery hoop. Outlines of a small sparrow are lined in thin black ink, blocking off areas of color change and overall silhouette as a guide for future stitches. The sparrow is facing right, with its tail slightly raised behind it as it perches.

I might be insane 🤔

(I am attempting to make a guide for myself so that I can try stitching a little sparrow hehe)

When I see an artist or cross stitch designer using GenAi for their social media posts, I don't trust their art. Even if it's a mock-up... No. Just no.

A #wip of an octopus on the back of a denim jacket nice enough to stitch outside. #embroidery
A photo is a Jean jacket with a partially filled octopus head hand stitched on the back. The octopus is orange with yellow eyes and outlined in black. In the background a dog pants.

How challenging is it to begin quilting by hand on a small scale with no machine?? 🤔 #quiltsky

Is bleeding on your embroidery a right of passage?? 🤔

Another one done! ♥

Very happy with the padded satin stitch, not so much the regular satin stitch. I drop down to three strands for these to get a better satin look, but I think I'll try single strand satin stitches on the next ones for a smoother shape edge 🤔🤔🤔

Another petal done on lunch!! The backshot is... not as pretty LMAO

Realistically, is there any way to avoid a back like the one on the backstich fill petal? I love the look of the fill but hate trying to force the needle and thread through... that LOL

A little farther on these practice hoops! I definitely messed up two of the woven wheels, but that is why we practice :3c

With this hoop, I am focusing on keeping my tension loose enough to not scrunch the fabric ♥
