I finally got 5 new embroidery patterns up at Etsy. I started these during covid lockdown in 2020. It's taken me these 4 years to finish them and write up the patterns. Each patterns has 2 triangles and 1 hexie. The triangles have a word in a heart. I did each set in a different color, flowers and other embroidery stitches needed to make each slightly different. I call the patterns Words of Hope.
They are 20% off until Dec. Hope you like them!
I was reading Mary Corbet's blog https://www.needlenthread.com/ because I also subscribe to her Patreon site. She has a post about AI generated patterns. There was a link to this post at the lolli and grace blog. I can't help but feel sorry for people who buy these kits/patterns only to find no real directions or even thread colors.
The photos on Mary's post are amazing until you realize that someone out there is hurting real designers and the consumers. From what I've read this is also going on in other thread and fabric crafts.
All I can say i,s really be careful when buying from now on. Check to see if a link to a designers blog or facebook page is available so you can check to see if the pattern will have all the info and a person you can ask questions about it.
This month's embroidery is based on Thanksgiving. Many of us sit around a table with family and friends talk about what we are thankful for. These might make nice place cards with names also embroidered on them.
As with previous months, this embroidery used the same threads and stitches. The bee is done in straight stitches. The edging is wrapped with yellow thread. See the previous postings for more on how they are made.
