Take a Stitch Tuesday

I finally did my stitching for Take a Stitch Tuesday (found on Sharon Boggon's website:
www.Pintangle.com



It took me awhile to decide what kind of format to use, but I finally decided to try and make a picture on felt just using the one stitch each week.  This week wasn't too hard.  We will see how it works out as the weeks progress.

I also decided it works out better to sketch out some ideas before actually doing the embroidery.  As you can see on the top in blue--I was a bit crooked, but it was easy to fix. (I hate taking out embroidery stitches if I don't have to.
Some of my Fly Stitch ideas.
