This is a kind of filling stitch which is ideal for making leaves or feathers. It requires us to divide the pattern into two and each side is filled alternately giving it a plaited effect in the center, thus ideal to make leaves or feathers. I...

Chain Stitch is a looped stitch that can be worked on a straight or curved line. It is pretty simple to learn and you can work on it like a running stitch.

Hello Stitchers! Welcome to this week's edition of Friday Instagram Finds! Can you believe that, not including today, there are only 10 Fridays until Christmas?! October is half way over, and there are only 11 weeks, or 76 days left in 2015?! Is it only me, or does it seem like time has flown by in 2015? Quite honestly, it feels like 2013 was just a few months ago... Today let's take a look at Jordan of @jharmonart! Jordan's embroidery art wowed me the first time I saw it. It is unique in the way she combines fabric, paint, and floss to create stunning hoops. The scenes in her hoops appear to very simple on first glance, but when you take a closer look at them, you see all kinds of detail that evoke pleasant feelings. Her beach pieces, in particular, fascinate me in their simplicity and detail. My favorite hoop in her feed is the one of the Ferris wheel. The 3D texture of the arms of the wheel, and how she placed the arms of the wheel stacked so that you get the sense of what the arms look like in real life, give it motion, and I can envision the wheel leisurely turning. (I always think a ride on a Ferris wheel is a good idea until I get on it and get stuck at the top as more passengers get on.) Here's a look at some of my favorite hoops from Jordan's feed.

Issue 100 Australian Smocking & Embroidery, 2012 "This 100 page issue of AS&E is unique in that it contains no new projects - it is a pictorial retrospective of the past 25 years. Perhaps designed more for the coffee table than the sewing room, it celebrates many things; superb photography, outstanding design and our beautiful models but most importantly, the joy that comes from being able to create something glorious for someone we love." There are no master patterns in this final issue, however there are 8 smocking plates scattered throughout this issue. Outstandingly beautiful photography. Magazine is in excellent condition.

Contempory style patterns & quilts, as well as traditional, vintage patterns with a unique twist!

Carmen Mardónez liberates the art of embroidery from its narrow picturesque functions in the domestic craft sphere in abstract sculptures.

Done!

Someone asked me on Instagram how I go about putting together my applique quilts. So here's what I do! After I draw out my design and where I want the patches of different shades and colours to go on tracing paper, I scan it in, enlarge it in Photoshop and adjust the levels to make the lines as dark and visible as possible and to get out as much murk from the background. I then print it out over several pages and tape them together... Once taped I overlay the design with freezer paper, taped together with washi tape, magic tape or something that doesn't melt with heat. Then I trace over it with anything but a Frixion pen!! Once traced, I mark on the colours by name referring to my original photograph, and also mark joins with crosses and dashes to make it easier to match up later. But then I do a fabric pull and cut out some of the patches, a small section at a time. I usually get interrupted at this point... These get pressed onto the right side of fabrics and trimmed around leaving a seam allowance. Whilst sat on the sofa with a magazine on my knee, I then clip into some seam allowances (leaving the adjoining edge of the next patch), fold to the back and stick together. Once a patch is completely surrounded I can then take off the freezer paper which is my favourite bit! I keep building it up until its completed. Sometimes I stitch it down, other times I baste it and quilt it to hold the pieces in place. Still a long way to go but it's good fun. Thanks for following along with me this week! @pennydog Blog
