Blessed afternoon my dear NeedleworkMonday friends, I am pleased to greet you again. From the bottom of my heart I hope everything is going very well in your lives. It's been a few days since I last posted here, as I haven't had much free time to knit. Although I have several unfinished projects, I decided to take a break from crochet to get back to embroidery, an art that I love and admire very much.
Embroidery is an art that has always fascinated me, but it is an activity in which we strain our eyes and the cervical spine suffers a little. For this reason I have always dedicated much more time to crochet. The technique that I have always practiced to make embroidery projects is the cross stitch technique, because I think it is the simplest, in my opinion.
A few days ago I found a piece of fabric used for cross stitch embroidery and I felt like practicing this beautiful technique again. I decided to start with small and simple projects so as not to get overwhelmed or frustrated. My first practice project is this cute sunflower framed in a black square. It is worth noting that this time I am not using the typical embroidery skeins. I decided to embroider using 1mm crochet thread, so that the figure formed by the cross stitch is much more noticeable and has a little relief to the touch.
For the cross stitch technique, gridded charts are used to help us form the figure. after several minutes on Pinterest looking at various designs, I decided on the sunflower, to break the tradition I have of starting each new technique with a heart figure. This time I wanted to be a little more risky and work with several colors. Besides the sunflower is my favorite flower and I have already knitted it in various forms, now it's time to make an embroidered one.
In summary, I can say that I expected the figure to turn out a bit bigger, but it is understandable because the grid of the fabric is quite small. I think it is ideal for much more elaborate designs such as landscapes or drawings with more elements. For now I will continue practicing with small figures, which I will later join in a more complete project. I hope you like this sunflower. Thanks for reading, greetings and blessings.

Amiga que hermoso bordado, me alegra que estés de vuelta con este trabajo de punto de cruz, súper interesante para las que aún no lo hemos intentado hacer, bordar es demasiado emocionante; sin embargo, no es el mejor amigo de la vista y la columna, por eso yo también lo hago de vez en cuando, aunque me encanta bordar me quedo con la vista borrosa.
¡Saludos, feliz noche!!🙂🙏
Amiga.. que lindo verte bordar. Te quedó hermoso
It's beauty did meets the eyes, I didn't know that you can do this too after seeing so many crochet work.
So sorry that embroidery hurts a little but the end is always a beauty to behold.
This so good and the fact that it was your first time make it ever prettier. BTW where did you get these charts. I can't find them anywhere.
The Sunflower 🌻 is so pretty 😻
