with a needle in hand- unique embroidery ideas

I’ve been loving unique and artistic embroidery lately, I think I blogged about it last week too. I can’t seem to help myself, it’s so intriguing, inspiring and the wilder the subject matter the more fun it seems. I seem to be drawn to simplistic or fanciful designs. Here are a few favorite unique embroidery ideas, with many, many more on my Pinterest board.

Generally I don’t care for celebrity stuff and watching the Royals with a scrutinizing eye seems so desperate but this piece is just so unique as far as embroidery ideas and well done in the details and I’ll admit it- I have been paying more attention because I want to dress just like Kate Middleton. Once again, here’s proof of my dedication to her fashion choices.

    Ha! I love all the hair-do work – isn’t it just the coolest? The lady who made the Queen’s piece is just beautiful and the one who seemed to have sussed up a child’s artwork is something I would like to do when Rocket starts drawing – but for some reason, the 39 squares is my favorite!

    I hear ya on the 39 Squares, I want to make a ‘sampler’ like that with a different tiny design for every day of a month, couldn’t I commit to something a simple as that??
