Who dares to rush into a Pebble Adventure?

[Marjolein Mieras]

 

Do you recognize this?

 

 

It is a free project from "Stitch" from some years ago, you can find it here: http://www.embroiderersguild.com/stitch/projects/encrustingcalico/i...

We, Deb and Marjolein, have admired that project ever since. Now we have decided to rush into this "Pebble Adventure".

Does anyone want to join us? We can share pictures and experiences here or provide links to blogs or flickr.

Thank you, I'm very happy to have finished at least one UFO.

Your UFO pebble turned out very pretty. I love all the beautiful stitching, beads and especially the hearts. hugs Judy

This weekend I finished my "sumptuous pebble". This pebble was worked the other way around. First the most part of embroidery (years ago), than decide where the relief has to come, than finish the embroidery.

The difference in texture of the top fabric was another issue. With this pebble the trapped items where less visible. The wrinkles caused by these items were easy to handle due to the loose weave.

M,

I have returned home and I am delighted to see this UFO Pebble!  I love it!  Great use of a piece that had so much time invested in it.  The stitching seems to be just perfect for this!

My latest pebble.  I have created this pebble for a trade with Jillayne.

Lucky Jillayne! Your pebble is beautiful, and I love the touches of pink!

Lucky you, Deb, because Jillayne creates beautiful stuff, too!

I have sent to Pat Winter my pebble photo. Did You sent too? It would be great to see all the pebbles we've done on the magazine!

WOW! Those pebbles look really cool! I like the encrusted look, I think I will give it a try. I am new to embroidery so this will be a good way to try out new stitches.
