The Green category of the Rainbow in Stitches Contest had many great entries and they were all so different too that I had a hard time deciding on the winner. There were a couple of photos that I kept coming back to though and especially Sarah's embroidery 'Green' had that 'Awesome-I-wish-I-thought-of-that' factor. It is stitched with a very neat satin stitch on one of my favourite fabrics ever (Katie Jump Rope by Denyse Schmidt) and I admire the minimalist approach.
So...without further ado I would like to introduce: Sarah!

What inspired your entry?

Backstitch
Who or what inspires you to stitch?
Bare walls and requests from my boyfriend
How long have you been stitching and how did you get started?
I've been stitching for about 2 years now. My boyfriend asked me one day why I bought all these craftbooks and didn't "make" anything. I guess that pushed me to just go for it and not worry about failing.
Are there any stitchers in the Feeling Stitchy Flickr pool you have noticed?
Doe-c-Doe her stitching and applique is *so* amazing
Girl Incognito (Itsastitch) lovely chemistry embroidery
Some great other entries that caught my eye were Green by Raphaela TE, Luna Moth by Giggly Mama, and Autumn Tree Lady by Say Say oh Playmate. But I could name many many more. Thanks all for participating, I can't wait for the next contest!
I love this so much -- your stitching is just beautiful and I LOVE BOWS! You have definitely inspired me with this piece, so now I have to go through my vintage fabric to see if I can find something to embroider.
