Since I know how to create each stitch with needle and thread, I thought it would be easy enough to draw them........trying to draw them from my mind's "eye" did not really work very well....they just did not look right.
So, here is what I did, as I made each stitch, I drew what I was seeing, one step at a time.
a bullion stitch in progress
was the visual for my drawing
here, all of the steps for that stitch are rendered in pencil.
I did this for each of the different stitches, then scanned my drawings and added text.....voila!....my own illustrations fresh from my printer
I am linking up to Nina Marie's Off The Wall Fridays

Nice! I could see you doing a book including your own illustrations. Or at be very least for a magazine - quilters Newsletter perhaps?
That looks great and a better description than words would be. Give yourself a nice pat on the back!

WOW...your talents never cease!
You are a true artist being able to draw what you see. Stitching illustrations that look sew real I thought they were the needle and thread. Blissful Stitching Dear...
