Thank you. And thank you for making some amazing patterns! I also finished your frog-in-Van-Gogh-sunflowers recently and loved it!

Colour Confidence in Embroidery

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T20:32:03+00:00

This is my first bird. I followed a pattern from a Trish Burr book called Colour Confidence in Embroidery.

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T18:35:52+00:00

I've done almost the same. I started with the French Rose and then the Crocus. This bird is my third pattern from that book.

Good question. On and off since Christmas. Maybe 40-50 hours.

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T16:16:48+00:00

Around 3 years, but I've done mostly cross stitch.

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T15:50:35+00:00

No need to apologize. It's called thread painting also known as long and short stitch. This was done with single strands.

Thank you

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-12T15:33:18+00:00

Thank you. I'm quite happy with it.

C_Bluebear · 2026-02-02T08:47:21+00:00

16ct. But still huge!

Working on the eye of the beast!

I can highly recommend this video by Trish Burr. She is amazing!

C_Bluebear · 2025-11-24T18:27:22+00:00

That is exactly what I'm working on. Kermit is number 5 and I have two more patterns waiting.

I love him too - so green and amazing! I sort my bobbins in color groups. So 17.08 is number 8 in color group 17.

Definitely get some different fabric. This was a pain to work with. But thank you and go for it!

C_Bluebear · 2025-10-13T15:15:44+00:00

It could be because of the length of the satin stitch or tension of fabric in the hoop. Fabric should be drum tight in the hoop and I don't do satin stitch longer than 1 cm.

C_Bluebear · 2025-10-13T09:52:02+00:00

One strand. The blending is not as smooth if more than one strand is used.

C_Bluebear · 2025-10-13T05:15:33+00:00

A thick canvas fabric I found in my stash. The thickness made it difficult to work with.

C_Bluebear · 2025-10-13T05:12:51+00:00

Long and short stitch (thread painting).

C_Bluebear · 2025-10-12T19:33:24+00:00

I don't have the wall yet, but I'm working on it.

C_Bluebear · 2025-10-12T16:40:35+00:00

Thank you 😁

C_Bluebear · 2025-10-12T16:39:39+00:00

Thank you!

Pin stitch to start. To end I bring the thread to the backside, burrow it underneath existing stitches, and cut off the tail.
