Indiana is now embroidered on my US map. I used red and white for IU (sorry Purdue). This makes 14 of the 50 states completed. This is a nice, relaxing project when my brain is tired. #embroidery #benitamakes #wip #craft #embroideryofbluesky #iloveembroidery #usmap

I couldn't sleep, so worked more on my Bauhaus design. I love how the colors bounce off one another. #Bauhaus #crossstitch #benitamakes #wip #workinprogress #crossstitchofbluesky #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

More working on my Bauhaus cross stitch. I am loving the abstractness of this and it's really holding my attention. This is a huge win for my ADHD brain. #bauhaus #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #wip #abstractart #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

It has been 15 months since I worked on this embroidered map of the US. Time has flown! I did Illinois today, and am thinking on what to do with Indiana next. #benitamakes #zenbroidery #usamap #embroider #iloveembroidery #ilovestitching #wip #craft #workinprogress #embroiderersofinstagram

Was at the Detroit Institute of Art on Wednesday, saw this painting and my jaw dropped open. The detail of the stitching is incredible! I'm in awe of the woman who embroidered the gown in the first place. The painter is amazing. #embroidery #embroideryofbluesky #iloveembroidery #Renaissanceart

Back to cross stitch. I love how patterns look on dark cloth, but, oh, it is hard on old eyes. 😁 #benitamakes #wip #workinprogress #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #embroidery #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

I am working on my newest cross stitch design and realized this part, repeated, would make an awesome border for a skirt or tunic. Hmmm...

This one is called Seesaw and it looks so much better on lavender than on gold. I'm so happy! The pattern will be up for free on www.benitastory.com in a couple of days as it joins the other free patterns
