Leprechaun Embroidery Project - Part Four



I have an update to share on my leprechaun stitching.  I have filled in the pot of gold, his hair and beard and am making progress on his outfit.   I am glad to be past all the metallic thread stitching!  I even added some gold on his jacket buttons.


I am wondering about the color I will use for jacket...I don't think I want him to be in all green.  


I am using rows of split stitch on the pants, I hope that will look good - it is starting to resemble green corduroy! 

I have some other St. Patrick's day stitching - involving these three floss colors again:



I think they will work perfectly.

  4. He's great fun. I think a lovely strong blue would be great for the jacket.

  11. JillianFunkPFT - Thank you! Do you mean the lettering "Liam" on the cowboy pillow? I used the back stitch and I did it in rows. I used perle cotton floss too and I think that really contributed to the beautiful texture.
