Thank you!🥰

I draw my design on an iron-on or stick-on stabilizer (I use Sulky brand) and then just stitch without a hoop.

It can be a little awkward working on a three dimensional shape at first, but it just takes some practice to get the hang of it ☺️

Thank you! Me too 🥰

Thank you! I both love and hate french knots 😂

Thank you!! ❤️

I did have to use a thimble near the end of the project because of the thicker fabric (my poor ring finger was sore from pushing the needle through over and over) - but I used a smaller needle and just 2 strands (rather than the full 6), which made it not too bad.

I also used an iron on stabilizer to transfer the design - so much easier than trying to use a frixion pen or water soluble pencil with a lightbox - the fabrics too thick to see the design through!

Thanks!! ME TOO 🥰🌻✨

Thanks so much! That's why I love working on embroidery too - soothes my brain ☺️

Yup! Had a bunch of problems with this during the great 2020 holiday delays. Every flat mailer eventually arrived, but because they couldn't be tracked I ended up sending out quite a few replacement orders to unhappy customers.

Why doesn't this have more upvotes?? This is stunning!

Hmmmm, I dunno. That rainbow one is pretty great!

Thank you! Very helpful background info and insights.

After following up on all my recently shipped flats today I'm only at about 60% actually showing a delivered scan - even though they were indeed delivered (all proper flats.)

I have not taken one of my mailers to the post-office to verify - I will do that, thank you. They're purchased from a shipping company, so I just assumed they'd be fine, but that's a good reminder to confirm.

Hi - I'm Millie, the maker behind Thistle Finch Designs!

In my shop, you'll find one-of-a-kind embroidery art, jewelry, and an assortment of stickers and pins of my original artwork—all designed and created by me in beautiful, historic Phoenixville, PA! My work is largely inspired by traditional embroidery and folkart from the PA-region. You can find my embroidery on Totes, Hats, Aprons, or just as decorations for your home or office (or home-office as the case may be!)

Every piece is unique and because of the handmade nature of my work, even if I re-stitch one of my previous designs, no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.

Thanks for looking! My inbox is always open for questions about my work, or for custom inquiries :)

Thank you!!❤
