Wonderful Wednesday #33: Mirka Döring

I was just floored by the beauty of this embroidery by artist Mirka Döring. The colors, the textures, the stitching - just perfect!

To see more of her stitching, visit her shop on Etsy and DaWanda and find her on Instagram.

If you'd like to try your hand at that stupendous flamingo, Mirka has a PDF pattern in her shop:

Friday Instagram Finds No. 38 with @naive_needle

Hello Stitchers! It's Friday - hooray! I'm excited because in two days I'll be headed to sunny Florida with my son to visit my parents. It will be nice to leave the colder temps in Chicagoland for the sunshine of Orlando!

Today I'm introducing you to Anna of the Instagram account @naive_needle. Anna creates pretty hand embroidery, and what strikes me most about her pieces is that she often uses satin stitch or needle painting to fill spaces in her work. The results are beautifully composed embroidery pieces that are colorful and pretty. Her "flower flamingo" is particularly clever. I came across Anna's work because she tagged some of her pictures with #feelingstitchyig.Take a look!
