s t i t c h e d

I put the finishing touches on this embroidered pillow last night, design by bellacozy.

I struggled with it for a while, but now that I've gotten the hang of it, embroidery has become one of my favorite textile art forms.  I feel most drawn towards the classical designs, such timeless images as may be found at my new favorite website, needlecrafter.  However, I have been finding a lot of enjoyment in replicating the vintage style in various different designs of my own.  
This is part of a series of embroidered 2d stuffed animals.  This is meant to be a doe, though she still needs ears.
