I enjoyed this podcast while driving on a long journey this morning (I listened to #74 Lexi Boeger on the outward trip earlier this week, that was great too). I haven’t embroidered for some time, and I am not a wild stitcher: my favorite project was some snowdrops!

I used to cross stitch, but quickly got bored with it. Years later my mom bought me one of Jenny’s books for Christmas and…voila! I am hooked on embroidering everything I can get me hands on.

As for craziest embroidery? Nothing too crazy from me. I did do a onsie for my new cousin that had road kill on it, but that is about as crazy as I have gotten :)

I loved hearing Jenny’s story. And her wonderful voice!
I tried to make a memory quilt in high school, and commissioned my friends to each make a block. Some I got back, most I didn’t.
More recently I have been embroidering with beads on felt. I guess the wildest thing I’ve embroidered was felt flowers overtop of the brand labels of a thrifted purse.

Hi Jennifer – I finally caught up to real time on the podcasts and can actually enter a contest (LOVE your show, it’s often very comforting, esp. while I’m at work, so thanks!)

My “wildest” embroidery attempt is an ongoing project that started so long ago I actually lost track of time. Originally I was going to embroider 10 “illustrations” of fairy tales. Then I started four, and finished a couple but then I foolishly decided to make them all bigger (original diameter was 2.5 inch, now they’re supposed to be 3.5 inch). I only have one done which is “Rapunzel”:

Then I’m currently expanding “Jack & the Beanstalk” and have yet to widen “The Frog Prince” or “Little Red Riding Hood”… and I haven’t even thought of 6 more of these to do in the next two decades. Sometimes I work on them and friends ask “What are you working on?” and I say “The same thing as last time” … but maybe I’ll get really wild someday and finish the imaginary set of ten.

I had a wild embroidery experience while at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. I was working on a tea towel as a gift for the guy friend whose house I stayed at. The image was of the waitress from Jenny Hart’s krazy kitchen series.

Above the image I embroidered “I heart Alejandro” as I had rocked out to Alejandro Escovedo the previous night and acted like a teenager at a Beatles concert. He’s also from Austin TX and quite dreamy even to a 40 something mom.

My friends thought this was silly. Not sure if the embroidery was wild but I know I acted wild at the concert….New Orleans will do that to a girl.

i made a crazy embroidered pillowcase out of the most random designs in the first sublime stitching book and my boyfriend fell in love with it and took it. i read in the book about using dressmaker’s carbon to transfer other designs to fabric and ended up making him a second pillowcase with all of the characters from his favorite made-for-adults cartoon, aqua teen hunger force.

nothing says “i love you” like embroidering a cartoon man with tons of chest and shoulder hair onto a pillowcase.

I’m just getting back into the game of making things handmade. My latest project was sewing a drawstring bag, with two contrasting materials from an old mens shirt and I embroidered a seashell onto it since I’m living near the ocean. I’m going to use it for my Mothers day gift.

It is so uplifting and inspiring to see an artist who has found her calling and is so passionate about it. Keep at it!
