Embroidery Done

It goes to prove that even I, when push comes to shove, can have singleminded focus when necessary. So, I've sat and embroidered and mostly kept myself from distracting myself. The result is that the bunny embroidery is completed.


I really like doing embroidery. It is the first sewing I ever learned to do as a child. It's a bit like riding a bike, once you've learned you never forget. And, like hand quilting, it's the overall effect you are going for. Looked at individually the stitches are not perfect. But I think that bunny is pretty damn cute when you look at all the stitches put together.


It's made me want to do more embroidery. Not like I have placemats to complete, a Christmas quilt on the go, some secret Santa gifts to make, and, and, and...
