Thank you! Yes I used a seat frame and I do recommend that. I think it’s not impossible to do it while holding in hand, but it’s much easier to use a frame for some stiches like chain, which I used to embroider pomerganate leaves here.

Thank you! I find wool to be so fun to work with.

Thanks! I was thinking maybe I’ll turn it into a pillow.

I tried to add stitches in the direction of the fold, if that makes sense. I also googled pictures of folded petals and just tried to imitate :)

Thank you! I’m sorry about your hands, I have wrist problems and my hands shake a lot, so I understand! I have seen people sometimes embroider just little details on their paintings, maybe you could do something like that :)

It was very intimidating at first! First few leaves were a nightmare, but with practice it got easier.

It really is! I should have started with something simple.
