I just stitched to say "Hello"

I found Melissa on etsy who made some unique "Hello" embroidery. She uses watercolor to enhance the muslin that she embroiders on. I would suggest an acrylic wash would be more permanent and especially if you ironed it after it dried.


I love her "Hello Critter" as she calls him. The little seed stitches give it a nice dimension and texture. Melissa also does some wonderful watercolors and plush creatures of her own design.

These little stitcheries inspired me to think of a past post on Feeling Stitchy about leaving little embroideries in public places for others to discover. I couldn't find the post, so if you do, will you leave a link in comments?

I googled "how to say hello in different languages" and came up with quite a few reference places, including this one. It would be fun to embroider "hello" in different languages and leave them places....

Here are some " hello's" in other languages: Buon giorno; Konnichiwa; Bonjour; Guten Tag; hej; salut; hallo; aloha; shalom; Yow Wah Gwaan; hei; oi; hoezit; hola; tja; jambo...........



Wouldn't that make your day should you discover one of these little hooped stitcheries in some unexpected place?
