Does this look like a splotchy piece of quilting cotton to you? Take a closer look:
I don't really know why I spend so much time on intricate details for embroideries done on patterned fabric despite the fact that they will never show up as anything more than a subtle effect, but I suppose I just think it's fun. I wish I had a better way of capturing the texture of this piece. Hundreds of little running stitches combine into such a lovely tactile sensation.
Plus, they're really fun to do when you're obsessive compulsive disorder kicks in.
This embroidery was created using my Sunburst Lion pattern.
