bergeron asked: Do you have a list of Etsy shops that sell embroidery like the pictures on this blog? I want to buy some art but all the search engines offer is tea cosys and granny flowers. Thanks!
Does anyone have anything to submit for valentines day?
I don’t suppose anyone would want to follow my personal tumblog? lesjeuxsontfait.tumblr.com

This is the flickr set of my embroidery. I don’t know if you want to post any of it but if you did I can’t say I’d mind :)

Also...
I have loads of stuffing leftover from a costume I made last year, and I need some ideas for what I can use it with, other than cushions.

This woman is AMAZING.
This entire image is hand embroidered. Kathie’s work as a fibre artist revolves around her (dis)abled daughter, Kaitlin. Most of her images are copies of everyday life activities and motions that Kathie goes through with her daughter.
“Historically, women have used…

Another question.

John Hughes Week!
Don’t forget, I’m looking for pieces for the John Hughes themed week I wanna do. And I’d really appreciate some of you stitchers doing a little something. Otherwise I’ll be doing it all by myself.
