I've always loved the story of The Princess and The Pea. There is so much texture and warmth in this piece. Thank you Alejandra408

Glamorous retro girl cross stitch

Isn't this amazing? I love it when crafters create amazing, updated stuff for cross stitch. And I especially love it when they share the pattern with all of us, for free! Here's the free pattern - thanks so much, gableknits!

Tamales + French knots = heart attack
Stitched by crf_kitty
Oh good lord, I think I just had a heart attack. My Hispanic heart swells with pride at the mere mention of tamales - but the fact that crf_kitty thought so much of tamales that she immortalized them in ALL FRENCH KNOTS makes me so outlandishly happy I could die. Just look at those knots. I dare you not to want tamales now.

Embroidery and block printing
What a lovely combination of block printing and embroidery. The image and the stitching work really well together in this 'folklore' piece. Simple and beautiful and the limited use of colours underlines the simplicity.

Totally awesome
Stitched by s. jane!
For once, I have nothing to add. Because "totally awesome" describes it perfectly. :)

Stitching in Arabic
I love Arabic script and to see it in stitched form is absolutely lovely. Despite the fact that I can't read it and only just make out a few of the letters..
After finding this I searched Flickr to see if there was more embroidery in Arabic. Not a lot, sadly. But let this be an open invite to anyone who does embroidery in Arabic or any other non-Latin alphabet to get in touch. I'd love to showcase it.

Bug shirt
Stitched by LittleBeeThatCould
Is this shirt not adorable? And I can't think of any young boy that wouldn't want bugs on his shirt. I want bugs on my shirt! Right now.

Abe Vigoda is alive
Stitched by tinyairplanes
Oh my goodness. First William Shatner, and now this? Abe Vigoda was SO my favorite curmudgeon on Barney Miller. I just wanted to hug him. Awesome work, Ms. Virbitsky!
And of course, these embroidered portraits bring to mind the amazingly talented Ms. Hart. I finally saw a few of Jenny's portraits in person last week and I almost passed out from their sheer amazingness. Keep the portrait spirit alive, peeps!

Worst songs
But not worst embroidery!
Maybe bad songs could be made better if the lyrics were embroidered... Maybe getting them onto fabric we could get them out of our heads...
See more on the Embloggery blog. :-)

All of these wonderful amazingly talented people are on flickr and can be found in the embroidery group.
We're Twittering!
You're probably used to our daily awesome Flickr finds. What you might not know, however, is that I'm constantly freaking out over all the amazing stuff I find in the Embroidery pool. I couldn't possibly blog every single awesome thing I find, because then there'd be, like, 3,000 posts per day. (OK, I exaggerate - but only a tiny bit!)
Enter, Twitter! Carina and I will be using Twitter to point out even more cool stuff as we find it, on Flickr, and elsewhere on the web. So subscribe to us and get ready for more awesome!
