Embroidery from a Genre Enthusiast. Skip to primary content. In Situ and Happy Thanksgiving. November 28, 2013. Happy Thanksgiving, American readers and everyone else! I’m thankful for many things, but particularly relevant to this blog, I’m thankful to have finally finished this pillow and given it to my mother. The pieces sat for weeks, waiting to be sewn up. I don’t know why I kept putting it off–it really didn’t take all that long to stitch the seams. Merry Christmas 2012, mom. Thank you so much!

Fox and Hedgehog | Nerdbroidery
https://nerdbroidery.wordpress.com/2013/11/03/fox-and-hedgehog
Embroidery from a Genre Enthusiast. Skip to primary content. November 3, 2013. I kind of remembered to take a picture of the hedgehog before I started adding color. This is almost the base state–I added a bit of fox red and some yellow highlights. Then I got started with more of the purple and blues. I’ve learned an important lesson here: work the face first. If you don’t like the most expressive focal point, why waste time embroidering the rest? I think it holds together better with a little distance.
