Embroider sustainably

Nest Embirdery is one of the few Canadian suppliers of UK-made beechwood Elbesee hoops. These embroidery hoops are FSC-certified, meaning that the lumber used for these hoops meets the gold standard of sustainability, environmentalism, and conservation. The Forest Stewardship Council plays a huge part in the conservation of wildlife and natural forests. The FSC also supports local economies, which means more jobs for those that live in and around these forests. Besides all that, they are my favourite hoop to use. They are a great quality for a reasonable price and hold fabric nice and snug while you stitch.

If you asked me "what's your favourite piece that hasn't sold?" I gotta say it's these two! These are two of my most favourite pieces and I'm not upset that they haven't sold. It means I get to enjoy them even longer! 😜 These pieces are hand-stitched on un-treated muslin with watercolour. The watercolours were applied first and then I colour-matched with existing thread colours. It was a fun challenge and I can't wait to do more like this.

This commission is my first thread-painted puppy! The curly fur was so fun and I can't get over Spirit's cute tongue. This memorial piece was such a pleasure to do and I loved being able to honour this sweet soul. (P.S. the tail is a bearded dragon tail because Spirit and Pistachio were BFFs! ❤️) Swipe to see that little tongue close-up!

Sometimes frames just really make the piece 😍 And I don't think I've ever done such a good job with mounting fabric before... No wrinkles or puckering in sight! My succulents have started greening up with all the sunshine and warm weather. I'm so excited for spring flowers! Alberta has such a late flowering season compared to some other places. This succulent pattern is available as a PDF or kit on nest-embirdery.ca ❤
