Queen of the Deeps

stitched by makeworkproject

I am in love with this embroidered octo-mer-queen, as embroidered by Heather.

The gorgeous detail Heather achieved on the hair is just outstanding:

The hair turned out so well! The face, not so much

As if that's not fabulous enough, this pillow is a mate to a Kraken pillow Heather also embroidered - from a SewLovely pattern. Luckiest couch ever! Amazing stitching, Heather.

Patterns: Smile for the camera (again)

Embroidered Diana Camera Skirt stitched by Sew Lovely

I don't know about anyone else but personally I struggle sometimes with what to do with my embroidery, my pieces usually end up on cushions and I think my husband would say that we now have way too many cushions! So I love this idea by Sew Lovely of making this gorgeous camera embroidery into a skirt pocket so much that I thought it was worth blogging about the Smile for the Camera pattern sheet again (originally blogged about here). I think if you know your way round a sewing machine reasonably well, this would be quite easy to do and would be a lovely way to personalise a skirt!

Patterns: Folk Art

Home Sweet Home stitched by WithWhimsy

I love Sew Lovely's Folk Art pattern set so it was great to see one of the designs from the set pop up in the Flickr Embroidery pool, stitched very charmingly by WithWhimsy.

Talking of Sew Lovely, also check out their brilliant (and free - for personal use only) Little Red Riding Hood versus the Wolf pattern that is on their blog.

Patterns: Lydia the Tattooed Lady

Lydia the Tattooed Lady beautifully stitched by katiekutthroat

I love katiekutthroat's use of colour for Lydia the Tattooed Lady, which is part of Sew Lovely's Circus Palooza pattern sheet.
