Arizona Embroidery Project

I have an update to share on my Arizona embroidery project.  

I have finished stitching the diamondback rattlesnake:

and the lettering:

Next up is this large paddle or prickly pear cactus:  

I will post my color palette and stitch list as soon as I finish this project!

Embroidered Pumpkin Project - Part Two

I have some progress to share on my embroidered pumpkin project. 

I still have a lot of stitching to do and color decisions to make!

Arizona Embroidery Pattern

I have a new embroidery pattern set in my shop.  This one is all about the wonderful state of Arizona.

I really enjoyed drawing the motifs for this one - Arizona has so many interesting features that are perfect for hand embroidering. 

Here is a look at the pattern set :

My first work in progress is this "Arizona" text surrounded by a paddle or prickly pear cactus and a western diamondback rattlesnake.  

These vintage postcards have really been an inspiration!
