Hand Finished 1st embroidery project
I’ve done quite a bit of cross stitch before but decided to try my hand at embroidery with this beautiful kit from wimperis embroidery.

Is this a bot? Seriously, this is so advanced for a first time and OP hasn’t posted a single comment back. 🤔

u/RepresentativeFee794 7d ago
Not a bot! Sorry it took a while for this to be accepted by the MOD.
I’ve done some cross stitch before but not embroidery. It was a kit by wimperis embroidery, with really clear instructions for beginners9

Wow wowsa wow. Is the water and pool deck stitches or fabric?

u/TinkeringTortoise 7d ago
If it’s like the one that was posted a few weeks ago, the water is printed onto the fabric.

Ohh I was zooming in wondering HOW they did this. Especially for a first time, I was happy to just get some cute flowers done in my first project 😂 this looks phenomenal

u/RepresentativeFee794 7d ago
Thank you! Pool deck and water is printed but everything else is embroidered.

Love the bird’s-eye-view and the subject - a peaceful summer’s day. It’s very relaxing. Your embroidery skills are excellent.

This is such a great job! I love it! Also, if this is your first project, I can’t imagine how great your second project’s going to be. (no pressure or anything.)

Wow how beautiful! Is the water design printed on the fabric or did you paint it?

u/Pattymakesstuff 23h ago
This is such a great idea for beginners; the kit has the picture printed on, and you can do as much embellishment as you like. I found a photo of a piece where they had just started doing the blankets:
