Wishing you all a very happy "Hat Day" from myself & The Flossies ❤️ #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #crochet

I'm not sure many people realised my new hand embroidery piece was actually a hat! 🤠👍 So I thought I'd better put it on & show it from another angle #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

I put together my hand embroidered Christmas Project. Happy New Year! #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Back to the "mini" series (2"×4") today as I'm trying to fit in some "social family time!" It is Christmas, after all! 😊 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Solstice Blessings 🙏 In the run up to Christmas the Winter Solstice, one of our earliest celebrations, is often overlooked . I handstitch this piece in acknowledgement, for ritual & celebration of the Solstice 🙏 And so the wheel turns once more. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Another of my simple hand embroidered mini stitches. 🤠👍 2"×4" #embroideryart ##craftiverse 🧶 #art

Another of my "mini" stitches. 2"×4" hand embroidery on denim. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

I'm doing a few hand embroidered "mini" squares for a project idea. They are only 2"×4" so just about the size of my mobile screen. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

I made a short video to show all my embroidered triangles. 40 in 40 days🤠👍 Now, I need to add them to the border of my quilt. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.40 🤠👍 There you go, all 40 handstitched pieces in 40 days. Not bad going. I signed & dated this one. Seemed like the thing to do & covered it in French Knots using some of my leftover bits from all the others. I will line them to add to the quilt #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.39 🤠👍 Nearly there with this series of handstitched Triangles for my Quilt. 40 Triangles in 40 days! I have mixed emotions, I do feel satisfied that I achieved my target, as a body of work I think they will add impact & interest to the overall piece. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.38 🤠👍 It is hard to believe that after nearly 40 days of hand embroidery, I've nearly reached my target! 😳 I hope to be adding them to the bottom of my quilt after I have a break over Christmas 🎄 Will any of you miss my daily posts? 🤔 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.37 🤠👍 We are getting near the final few hands embroidery triangles now. I may have gone a bit literal with this one, but I did want to put my heart & soul into this project. 🤭 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.36 🤠👍 I know this looks like a simpler one than some of the others & I thought about adding more embroidery, but it does look pretty effective from a distance, & after all most people will be probably viewing the finished piece from a few feet away. 🤔 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.35 🤠👍 Hand embroidery I know there's a lot going on in this piece! There are times when my mind is in such a chaotic buzz. I find it hard to make sense of it all, let alone provide any insight. That's part of the unfathomable nature of my existence #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.34 🤠👍 "Enfolded." Another piece for the bottom border of my hand embroidered quilt project. I am actually keeping to my target of posting one a day! That surprises me! 😮 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.33 🤠👍 "Another Slice Please." A new yummy slice of hand embroidery 😋 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.32 🤠👍 I'm keeping on with my series of one a day hand embroidered pieces. Aiming at 40 for my Quantum Quilt Project #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.31 🤠👍 "Snedwood." Another in my one/day hand embroidered pieces. I am aiming to have 40 done before Christmas. They are all to be included in my Quilt Project. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.30 🤠👍 "Self Portait." Hand embroidery A self reflection, a delicate dance between the character of artist & personal psyche, created through introspection & creativity. A self-image served as a release, akin to experiencing an emotional catharsis. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.29 🤠👍 "Faux Or." Sparkly hand embroidery pieces don't show up that well in photos but in "real life" they can catch the light & draw attention. This is my little nod towards a "Goldwork" technique without actually using any gold. 😊 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #quilt

Triangle No.28 🤠👍 I so enjoyed doing my Art Nouveaux Bird hand embroidery. I thought I'd make it one of a pair 😊 You're probably getting sick of seeing my one/day posts, but I'm hoping to reach my target of 40 before Christmas! #embroidery #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #fibreart #quilt

Triangle No.27 🤠👍 "Art Nouveaux" I love Art Nouveaux & the later Art Deco. One objective of Art Nouveau was to break down the traditional distinction between fine arts and applied arts. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #Art #quilt

Triangle No.26 🤠👍 "I Know." I know, I know. Look I know I know, but it's my quilt & if I want to do yet another knotwork triangle, I will do another knotwork Triangle & there really is nothing anyone can do about it 🤭 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.25 🤠👍 "Unicorn." I really don't know why I love unicorns. Maybe it's because they symbolise the possibility of magic in the world. One of my best memories was building a stable in our garden for my eldest daughter's herd of unicorns when she was young. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶

Triangle No.24 🤠👍 I love doing Celtic Knotwork embroidery. I think it's the combination of intricacy, geometry & perplexity. There are also the cultural & ancestral aspects. It provides me with a heady mixture of familiarity & therapy. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.23 🤠👍 Owain Glyndŵr I often wonder what's in a name. As a kid, I asked my mum why I was called Owen, she said she wanted a Welsh name like her father. I embraced it after learning about Owain Glyndŵr, being named after a Welsh hero is cool. Hwyl rŵan 👋😉 #embroideryart #creativeness 🧶

Triangle No.22 🤠👍 "Alignment." #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.21 🤠👍 "will-o'-the-wisp." #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.20 🤠👍 Bilged in blue, beyond the bounty, beyond the boundary, boundless be, lies the beatification of the bourgeoisie 💙 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Today's Triangle No.19 🤠👍 "Turkish Delight." There's a big old story that goes along with this & not enough space to post it here on Bluesky. The short version is this is a piece based on some woven fabric I bought in Istambul 35 years ago. #embroideryart #craftiverse #art

Triangle No.18 🤠👍 I seem to have gone quite tribal with this one. Unfortunately, the central multi-coloured metallic piece doesn't show up that well in this photo. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art

Triangle No.17 🤠👍 "Shisheh." I found a piece of green denim in amongst the sea of blue for today's piece of stitching #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶

Triangle No.16 🤠👍 "Green Man" 💚 Hand stitched as part of my quilt project #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶

Triangle No.15 🤠👍 There are sometimes when you've just got to go with it 🤭 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #fibreart

Triangle No.14 🤠👍 There are days when I just simply like going round in circles. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶

Triangle No.13 🤠👍 "Canonaich" (Buchanan) I don't know why but I rarely lean into my Scottish heritage. I have it on both sides of my family. One side rooted in Glasgow & the other further north to the shores of Loch Lomond & the Canonaich or Clan of Buchanan. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶

I think I have enough circles now for the top border of my Quantum Quilt Project. I am now working on some handstitched triangles for the bottom border. Here are my 1st 6, only 34 more to go 🤠👍 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #textileart #quilting

I can't write much here with the word count. I got invited to give a presentation of my work at a local college this week. A chance to chat with a lovely group of budding textile artists & a chance to wear my "shabby chic" coat or as my kids call it, my "tramp" coat! 🤣 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶

My intension was to post each day but I get easily distracted! 🙄 So instead here are 4 more of my Procrastination Patches all in one go 🤭 Handstitched on denim. #embroideryart #craftiverse🧶
