Embroidered Tea Towel
It was fun to use needle and thread again, I hadn't done it in a while.
I used chain stitch. It's my favorite stitch to "draw" on fabric.
I got the pretty linen tea towel at Manos.

Hi, I randomly found your blog while looking for stamp carving instructions. I absolutely adore your style, it's so bright and fun, and your stamps have made me break out the carving set that's been in its packaging for 3 years.
It's been a joy to read back through all your beautiful work! Have added this blog to my Livejournal feeds so I can keep being inspired :D Thank you for sharing.
You embroidery too!!? You are amazing! I would love to see some of these towels in your Etsy shop. SO cute! Thanks for sharing!
So adorable
Oh my gosh, this is just adorable. I just discovered your flickrstream and blog and I wanted to tell you that your work is gorgeous.
Do you ever sell bird embroidery patterns? I would love to have this one. :-)

Will you put up a line drawing of your bird so I can make one too? pleeeezzeee
Oh Geninne, there is just no end to your talents. I love it. Is there anything you are not amazing at. Keep it up I love looking at your blog.
Exquisite! The linen, the bird, the stitching - it is just perfect. How was the eye done? Is it painted?
I haven't embroidered since Christmas, but you have given me the inspiration I need to get going again.
So beautiful, as are all of your creations! I love the needle book as well!
OH MY GOODNESS. Guess what? Ever since I've been reading your blog, I've been thinking "I need to email her and see if it would be cool if I could embroider some of her art!!!!!" But I've been shy. After seeing a birdie all embroidered up I know that they'd be so perfect for embroidery!! Creative collaboration?? I have a cool idea, if you're interested!!....
What a great idea! Love your bird and the little things around!
Lovely lovely!
