I am a few hours late to #worldembroideryday but here is another glimpse at one of the projects from my book which will be coming out in November (available to pre-order now), from @searchpress . 'Needlepainted Plants and Pollinators: An insect lover's guide to silk shading embroidery', takes you through some of the basic techniques of needlepainting and some of the processes I go through to create a project. It then contains nine project with step by step instructions that you can dabble in. Each project looks at a different pollinator alongside a plant that is either specific to that insect or the environment in which it helps to maintain. The book aims to highlight and encourage us to look past honey bees as being the only insect capable of pollination, if all our efforts are focused around 'saving the bees' this will have a detrimental effect to other beneficial, but often overlooked, pollinators.

I'm afraid I am still not back to working on this piece, I have a few days at home before I go back to my parents house 150 miles away to try and help work out what the future will hold for our family. But I keep on catching this embroidery out of the corner of my eye and I am itching to get back to it. I like the colours and the simplicity of the shading. I am hoping to put this out as either a pattern to download or a kit but when I will get around to that I have no idea.

I apologise for the lack of embroidery content on my feed at the moment. I am afraid I must have a break for a couple of months while I sort an unbearably difficult family situation with both of my parents being incapacitated within three weeks of each other.

Beauty in all things.
