A close-up photo of one of the bags i've embroidered this past year. Originally the image was in my scraps gallery but i've moved it here since folks like it.
Cotton floss on muslin fabric.

This is incredible, very precisely sewn and looks beautiful too. Must have taken quite a while to complete. Is the design your own?

The choice of colors and stitches to use was mine. The overall knotwork
design was something i adapted from a Dover artbook. I forget how much
time i spent on it but yes, it did take awhile.

It fetched a nice price at the auction. :)

You know what cracks me up? Someone who wants to speed in a 25mph zone and so he tailgates me and toots his horn because he wants me to go faster. Why does he do this? Because to pass me he would have to cross a double yellow line.

Absolutely beautiful stitching. Very even and tight. It looks like you used a yarn rather than a floss and that's even trickier to make this neatly. Good skills you have.

Thank you! One of the reasons for it looking like yarn instead of floss is that after finishing it I gave it a gentle washing which seems to have fluffed the floss abit.
