Hi everyone
Hope you had a great New Year and enjoyed the gallery updates.
This post features a charming design for thread painting called Miniature Victorian Children on a Branch by Trish Burr. It’s been beautifully stitched by Evelyn Foster.
Here’s the eye candy:
Thank you Evelyn for sharing this lovely piece and Stewart (Bath) for the photos.

Hi everyone
This post is specially for those of you who love threadpainting.
First up I’m going to share two birds exquisitely embroidered by Sharon Burrell.
Here’s an awesome Eastern Bluebird from a needle painting workshop with Tanja Berlin that Sharon took at the 2013 Koala Conventions (this is an event held in Brisbane & showcasing a range of embroidery workshops – you can find the 2015 Program here).
Doesn’t Sharon just rock this design?
The next piece is called Summer Jewel and is technically a crewel kit from Elsa Williams but it’s all done in long and short stitch so I’ve included it here.
Thank you so much Sharon for sharing your beautiful work & Stewart (Bath) for the great photos.
2014 Stitching Love and Hope Postcard by Marjorie Gilby
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you’ll be familiar with Marjorie’s stitching as we’ve featured it a number of times. For the 2014 Creative Challenge she has created a postcard using the thread painting technique.
It’s a breathtaking dog rose in the most glorious shades of red……
Enjoy!

Hi everyone
The early Spring flowers are starting to appear here in Canberra so I wanted to share with you some delightful diary covers stitched by Marjorie Gilby. They feature some lovely flowers.
If you’re a fan of crewel and the thread painting of flowers you’ll love the stitching.
Here’s the first which showcases a geranium…
Now the second diary cover with its two violas that have a real pop of colour….
and here’s the third cover and it’s very striking…..
Again thanks heaps Marjorie for sharing your awesome embroidery with us.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Carmen
