Your Pinterest board is wonderful! I will try to get caught up and do some of these!
Yay Chris! It is such a great subject, so pleased you will try and join us.
I know…….that Pinterest Board is divine! Look at all the options! I’m ‘in’ for this challenge as the running stitch is SO easy and can be incorporated with other embroidery stitches, too! Working on something at the moment, so count me in!
Yay Jan!
I’m in too for this month. I’m hoping to figure out a 3D bird with embroidered embellishment. Theresa
another wonderful theme…
I just do not know where my time goes
(well maybe I am plugged in a little much…there I’ve confessed!)
Thank you for always inspiring and sharing so many lovely things!

Here are my first 2 attempts. I had the bird fabric and embroidered over the image. I used the straight stitch to achieve shading. The second image is rubber stamped on a tea bag and stitched around the perimeter using the running stitch. I have another idea I want to try, but I’m not sure when I’ll have a chance to work on it.
