This is incredible!

Doesn't this piece feel like Fall is right outside your window?

US embroidery artist Ekaterina Sinchinova (Katrin Vates) creates the most amazing hand embroidered landscapes. She primarily uses french knots - lots and lots of french knots.

Definitely take some time to check out Katrin's work on her Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/katrin.vates/

Isn’t this cute?!

Here is a bonus chart for the week. Polar Bear Wreath is the perfect size for a cute ornament, gift tag or card for the holiday season. You can replace the French knots for some beads if you want to add a bit of sparkle!

Isn’t this beautiful?,

We're closing out our series on weddings with the gorgeous wedding ensemble. There really are few cultures that can match the opulence of embroidery on wedding outfits found in South Asia.

This ensemble is primarily made from a rich red velvet and red net for the sheerer components. All pieces feature goldwork embroidery and embellished with beads and crystal embroidery.

I wanted to share this with chapter members. I just came across this, and I know that many of us knew and loved her.

We are sad to announce that Marie Louise Filip (98 Years old), passed away. Leave your condolences, photos and videos on her commemorative page and pay homage to her or send flowers to show you care.

I cannot even imagine doing this kind of needlework on leaves.

Embroidery artist Laura Dalla Vecchia creates the most amazing art. Laura embroiders onto leaves! In this case, a shimmering humming bird on a skeletonized leaf.

Definitely check out more of her work on her website at https://levezaart.com.br/

So fun!

I am very excited to share that I have located a few more kits to teach Miss Ava Lanche... shown on the right. Her competition is Flureeze Powder, on the left, but is a pattern offering only. Read the details of both listings and feel free to contact me with any questions.
