I've done some embroidery. Unfortunately I ran out of yarn, so I had to leave some spaces empty. Still looks nice, if you ask me.

It is not completely done, but I wanted to show it off. I'm also not really satisfied with the shadows, because the letters obscure them quite much. And so it more looks like blots of dark blue. But I'm learning as I go.

It is finished now! πŸ₯³

@t_robinart gorgeous and timely!

(Your flowers are so different from anything I’ve seen stitched on Aida cloth; very cool and well done)

@inarticulatequilter
Thank you! 🌻
I initially did them in cross stitch, but it just didn't look nice. Maybe because I'm unexperienced, maybe because the wrong ct, I don't know. But I once saw a picture of an embroidery on what I think was linen. Flowers of different colours surrounding the word LOVE. And so I tried that style. And I'm glad it turned out that nicely. πŸ˜…
@t_robinart I’m so glad I mentioned them then. I only occasionally cross-stitch and just thought it was a technique I was unaware of. I love that instead you saw something you liked and made it work; very innovative!
@inarticulatequilter
Thank you again!
This is just the second time I've embroidered something, and I only did cross stitch once, so don't expect me to do something super fancy, haha.
I guess my main problem is my lack of patience. I see something that I like (a technique, colour palette, etc.), have an idea, but don't want to put my all into perfecting it. So I then just try to make it work somehow. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. This time it did.
anything with curves, such as flowers, don't look really nice in cross stitch, because you cann't make curves... this is well done!
@t_robinart wonderful flowers and a subtle message. So lovely. Well done.
@t_robinart the flower background is beautiful!
@t_robinart Great! I have always wanted to do something similar, but didn't have time so far.
@geschichtenundmeer
Thank you!
Oh no! I know that feeling. Finding out somone had one of YOUR ideas, maybe even before you, is kind of demotivating. "What, if I do it too and everybody thinks I stole it?" I keep thinking then. πŸ˜…
But the message always works, so it doesn't really count.
@t_robinart @phillip Very beautiful. And designing with white space is always a good option. Well done.

@t_robinart

That's extremely beautiful 😍!

@t_robinart Did you choose forget-me-nots on purpose? I'm thinking of the fact they were used as a symbol of identification and later memorial by Freemasons, who were persecuted by the Nazis.
@beecycling
I actually did, but soley because of the name (I also thought about ivy and its symbolism for eternity).
I had no idea about the Freemasons. πŸ‘€ Thank you for pointing it out.
@t_robinart woah, but that is still cool as fck!
