Inspired by the story of St. Julian, who was hunting for stag one day. The stag he was hunting told him that one day he would kill his father and mother. So here is a stag delivering that omen.

Embroidery in Progress

Jacobean, Dia de los Muertos sort of mingling in this very colorful embroidery. I've outlined the faintly pink skeleton with light gold thread. Sparkly.

Skeleton and Flowers Embroidery

A bit of a Jacobean, Dia de los Muertos mash-up of an embroidery project.

Little Skeletons

Working on a few little skeleton embroideries.

Both of these have gone to their new home, but there is more embroidery at My Good Babushka

Twin Skulls

Some embroidery.
Here is the finished pillow

Bright colors of French cotton floss pop against the background of black cotton on this hand embroidered pillow 12" x 12". Five shisha mirrors are sewn on with my special needle weaving dahlia stitch. The pillow features lots of chain stitch and double chain stitch as well. All hand embroidered and hand constructed. Stuffed with hypoallergenic polyester fiber fill. Spot clean when necessary.

Two Skulls Hand Embroidered Pillow with Shisha Mirrors

Five shisha mirrors sewn on and lots of chain stitch. I wasn't sure I was going to like it until I started putting in the flowers. I think it's shaping up now.

Mini Embroidery Dia de los Muertos

Sketch for a "waste not want not" little embroidery for a small piece of cotton and some odd bobbins of thread. Sweet and petite.

Skulls and Flowers Embroidered Pillow

I'm getting much quicker at my embroidery!

Sugar Skulls and Flowers

I am putting in some bright red hearts. Sorry about the lousy pictures. It was very cloudy outside and the camera didn't want to cooperate.

Sugar Flowers and Skulls

I guess the embroidery bug has bitten me hard! I'm starting a larger piece, but a popular and pretty common theme of mine, skulls! and hearts and flowers, too. It's a very feminine and pretty piece, even though it has skulls.
