Peek at a new design

I wanted to post earlier but hubby has not been well.........3 days of doctor appointments and more antibiotics.....so I have finally found a bit of time to share a picture with you of a new design.......
no name yet...........I love crewel embroidery and I believe there are so many people that stitch and are doing cross stitch so I have decided to take a drawing that I did years ago while it was nap time at the day care center I was working at.......those sleeping babies :)............I took the drawing and enlarged it.......traced over and then scanned it in the program and went over all of the stitches because there were so many shades of grey - black..........pulled threads and then added all of these to the design and tweaked it as I went..........this is my result............




still stitching away at doctor appointments and late in the evening......but I am liking it..............I will share more as time goes on......hopefully I will get it finished this weekend........I would like to also make it as a crewel, embroidery, and or punch needle design........still thinking.....What do you think? 
Have a good night.....until next time......donna

  1. Lovely! I want it in cross stitch! I don't do crewel so well, tend to pull everything too tight. Can't crochet for that reason. My "crocheting" friend has given up on me! Can't wait for thid one!

  3. lovely new design - I'd like to try crewel since I love working with wool. It would also be a beautiful design in rug hooking. I don't punch but I do hook. could open up a whole market for you among the rug hookers eh?? think about it - enjoy the holiday weekend - Mel

  4. Absolutely gorgeous! I would love to cross stitch this. I'm sure they are going to be lots votes on all 4: crewel, embroidery, cross stitch & punch needle. Maybe a mix of the first 3 and separate one for punch needle?
    Best of luck! love Annette
