Since I love the Ryan Berkley designs for Sublime Stitching so much, I decided to stitch up one of each animal to hang over the nightstand in our bedroom. The first design that I tackled is Ms. Bunny, who is looking very pretty in her ruffled blouse and string of pearls.
I plan on stretching the embroideries over canvas so the frames can act as frames, rather than framing them in embroidery hoops like I normally do.
This may seem obvious to veterans of embroidery, but a row of French knots turns out much neater if you insert the needle from the same direction every time. I realized this halfway through the string and ended up cutting out and starting over so the string would be uniform. I’m glad I did.

Next up is Ms. Kitty!
