July Round-Up

August is already here, which means it's time for the usual raid ! Be sure to check out Stitch Floral not to miss anything you missed last month :) Also see the upcoming sales at the end of the article!

But before I start, I want to mention some interesting news :)

StitchFloral Blog is one of the Top 25 Embroidery Blogs on Feedpost ! Yes !!

I'm honored to be on the same list as many other blogs that have taught and helped me to embroider myself. Thank you for reading my blog and for all the helpers!

This is the end of the July tour!

First of all, the Etsy Store has been updated ! Anima is a colorful and vibrant water lily full of subtle symbols (well, at least that's what I see in it , but it might mean something else to you!). You can read more about this design , its idea and how it was created :)

There was also a gift giving ceremony following the publication of a remarkable book. Read my review Amazing Sewing for Crazy Quilts - Although the main purpose is to make life easier for crazy quilts and provide a ready-to-use edging catalog, surface embroidery is quite a hobby and worth keeping. in your library.

The Fribes label has been updated with a new design that combines open embroideries with simple stitches on the surface. I promise it works very easy and fast! In addition, Freebie includes not only a model, but also a complete guide with step-by-step pictures. I'm sure you can do it! :)

Finally, speaking of your work, I've offered a separate article from my designs and drafts on the results of your embroidery . Keep posting your results and tag me on Instagram, I can't express how much I love seeing your work!

Finally, here is a tutorial on how to make a very easy DIY pillow . The perfect solution when you want something quick and beautiful, especially when you have extra jars, jars or cream bowls :)

I want to share, I'm starting to do watercolor :) Well technically I've already started but the results are still good haha.

I've already talked about using hand embroidery drawing skills here . And reading this article reminded me of the hobbies that some well-known creative professionals know about side hobbies that few people know about .

The most important thing I want to learn from watercolor is to better understand how colors mix. I'm a person who doesn't rely too much on colored wheels, every time I want to find a match with them I don't like the results at all... yes, that's my dirty intimacy. I don't know if there is a problem with me. But I hope the drawing sessions will help me understand it better :) I'll show you my results as soon as I have something decent haha.

Also , I have already started to work on a new jewelry set . You can see a sketch of one of them in the header image. Can you guess which gems he inspired? I think it should be easy to guess! Expect two new floral designs with new geometric edges!

After all, I only have 10,000 followers on Instagram ! Yes! I suspected something because the numbers kept changing, coming and going, haha. But now it finally seems to be concrete! - It's asking for a 10% discount and it's free , so be sure to check out my Instagram to keep up to date! I'll let you know soon :)
