✦ The last embroidery of 2024 💝 - Collage & Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia ✦
🇪🇸 ~ ¡Hola hermosa comunidad de NeedleworkMonday!, hoy en el último "lunes" de 2024 quiero compartir el recorrido creativo de un proyecto muy especial: @nurycos me encargó hacer un totebag temático del personaje "Eeyore" de "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" y el proyecto empezó con la propuesta de un bordado central que sería el protagonista de la pieza (= ノ ω ヽ =)
🇺🇸 ~ Hello beautiful NeedleworkMonday community!, today on the last "Monday" of 2024 I want to share the creative journey of a very special project: @nurycos commissioned me to make a tote bag themed after the character "Eeyore" from "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" and the project started with the proposal of a central embroidery that would be the protagonist of the piece (= ノ ω ヽ =)
Este es el último proyecto "grande" que acepté en 2024 y tuve muchas dificultades para terminarlo a tiempo (cortes de electricidad, viajes al veterinario de emergencia, y muchas interrupciones), pero en el camino pude salvar algunas fotos del proceso, del que en este momento puedo decir que estoy muy orgullosa y feliz cuando hago retrospectiva de todo el trabajo y atención que implicó conseguir este resultado. ¡Espero lo disfruten! ʕ • ᴥ • ʔ 💕
This is the last "big" project I accepted in 2024, and I had many difficulties to finish it in time (power outages, trips to the vet, and many interruptions), but along the way I was able to save some photos of the process, of which at this moment I can say that I am very proud and happy looking back at all the work and attention that went into getting this result. I hope you enjoy it! ʕ • ᴥ • ʔ 💕
✦ Then Nury asked me if it was possible to add flowers to the design, I told her that of course it was and after showing her many options of blue flowers, this was her favorite pattern ✦
✦ Once the patterns were chosen, I had to wait until the next day to send them off to be printed ✦
✦ Although the person made a mistake because I asked to print the pictures at 1:1 scale, and Eeyore has too much zoom, but it's okay, it was not a serious problem ✦

✦ I sent Nury photos of the embroidery threads I had available for her to approve the colors and shades before proceeding with the fabric selection ✦
 |  |  |
|---|
✦ The next step, which I like to do and which makes the process easier for me, is to mark the whole pattern every 10 squares and to find out beforehand what the center of the picture is in order to transfer this measurement to the etamine fabric, instead of marking the whole etamine with a grid by hand (this takes too much time and I don't like it, although it is the correct way I was taught to do it) ✦
✦ You will see later that I cut the flower pattern to change the order of the flowers and leaves to fit Eeyore's character and achieve a balanced design ✦
✦ Finally, to start embroidering, I made a very simple but precise grid, locating the center and the borders in 4 directions of the design, with which I can now work safely :3 ✦
Hasta este punto ya abarcamos todo lo que fue la selección del diseño, la selección de hilos y tonos, la marcación de la tela. Cuando se trata de bordado en punto de cruz la preparación de los materiales toma mucho tiempo y es mejor tener paciencia porque un mal calculo de los espacios y el hilo disponible puede arruinar irreparablemente el proyecto mas adelante.
So far we have covered everything from choosing a design, thread and color to marking the fabric. When it comes to cross-stitch embroidery, preparing the materials takes a lot of time and it is better to be patient because a wrong calculation of the spaces and the available thread can ruin the project irreparably later on.

Este bordado me tomo un aproximado de 5 días poder completarlo, y tuve que retroceder dos veces por errores que cometí al bordar de noche y con cansancio acumulado. Aprendi la lección y despues de arreglarlo, solo seguí bordando el resto durante horas del día. Por cierto, me gusta comenzar a bordar de afuera hacia adentro, pero a algunos artistas textiles les gusta empezar por los detalles mas pequeños, eso es muy curioso.
This embroidery took me about 5 days to complete, and I had to backtrack twice because of mistakes I made while embroidering at night and with accumulated fatigue. I learned my lesson, and after fixing it, I just embroidered the rest during the day. By the way, I like to start embroidering from the outside in, but some textile artists like to start with the smallest details, that's very curious.

✦ By this time, I had already cut out the paper pattern of flowers and figured out where to place them around Eeyore ✦

Oh, esta es la parte donde todo se puso muy dificil, incluso llegué a creer que debería quitar las flores completamente y re acomodarlas. Mi idea original era colocar mínimo 3 flores, pero por las dimensiones de Eeyore no encontré la manera de que se viera lindo de ese modo, simplemente no funcionaba; por eso hice un cambio de plan a último momento y decidí: 2 flores, con 1 par de hojas cada uno mas 1 brote.
Oh, this is the part where everything got really difficult, I even came to the conclusion that I should remove the flowers altogether and rearrange them. My original idea was to put at least 3 flowers, but because of Eeyore's dimensions I couldn't find a way to make it look nice that way, it just didn't work; so I made a last minute change of plan and decided: 2 flowers, each with 1 pair of leaves plus 1 sprout.
✦ Finally finished! After many days of work ; u ; Here I removed all the guide threads and cleaned the fabric, now I had to iron it and seal the edges, oh, also trim the excess fabric ✦
✦ This is the final result, ready to be installed. The color of the leaves of the flowers is one of my favorite parts, even though they are not so similar to the pattern, I worked with what I had ✦
✦ I am very proud, I think the result is excellent. Look at the configuration I achieved with these flowers! ✦
✦ I thought about framing the figure with a strand of black thread, but it would have been too stiff. It looks nicer without the framing ✦
✦ This is the biggest embroidery I have done in a long time, I mentioned it in previous notes, I prefer small things that I can finish in 1 day hahaha ✦
Regresaré pronto con la continuación de este proyecto y de cómo instalé este bordado al totebag, pero quiza actualice uno o dos proyectos o blogs de costura mas pequeños antes, estoy emocionada de poder volver a escribir aquí ヾ (· ω ·) メ (· ω ·) ノ
I'll be back soon with the continuation of this project and how I installed this embroidery on the totebag, but maybe I'll update one or two smaller sewing projects or blogs before then, I'm excited to be able to write here again ヾ (· ω ·) メ (· ω ·) ノ
Espero volver a leernos antes de año nuevo, y como siempre, estaré muy feliz de leer tu opinion en los comentarios y qué piensas sobre este proyecto ('. • ω •.`)
La vida da muchas vueltas y nunca creí que llegaría a bordar a este personaje tan melancólico, dulce y entrañable 🫂 💙
I hope to read you again before the new year and as always I'd love to read your opinion in the comments and what you think about this project ('. - ω -.`).
Life takes many turns and I never thought I'd get to embroider this melancholic, sweet and adorable character 🫂 💙

wow, the results are really good.
Thank you so much @reachdreams ! !
You're welcome.
Hola @tesmoforia, este bordado te ha quedado muy lindo, de verdad te felicito por este gran trabajo. Tu post ha sido muy formativo para mi, que a penas estoy retomando esta técnica de bordado. Aún no me he animado a hacer un proyecto tan complejo como este pero es una meta.
Me gustaría saber, cómo se llama el tipo de tela que usas?
Deseo que pases unas felices fiestas de fin de año.
Hola Kattyyyy ! !
FELIZ AÑO NUEVO ! ! !
Muchas gracias por tus felicitaciones, estoy muy orgullosa de la pieza y la clienta esta satisfecha con el resultado ; v ; que es lo mas importante. El Punto de Cruz es muy intuitivo y sé que lo dominaras super rapido.
La tela que uso se llama ETAMINA. La hay de diferentes tipos, nacional, importada, suavecita, rígida, blanca, y teñida de colores, también con "los cuadritos" mas pequeñitos.
Muchas gracias por tus deseos e igualmente para tiiiii ! !
Gracias por responder a mis dudas.
Te deseo un año nuevo lleno de éxitos y bendiciones.
Ay eso todo está muy bonito me gusta mucho
Me alegra mucho saber que te gustó el baby Eeyore Miri, gracias!
Ahora si me enamoré, que cositas más bellas. Tienes mucho arte para trabajar con este material. De todos, mi favoritos. 😍
Ooooow muchas gracias Karo ; ; v ; ; no soy la mejor en esta técnica pero me esfuerzo para que quede bien, la prima que me enseñó a bordar me decía "el verdadero punto de cruz es el que no puedes diferenciar cuál es el frente y cuál el reverso" ~
Pues te quedan bien bonitos. ☺️
Wow, very creative embroidery work
Thank you very much dear! Happy New Year!
This is amazing work, it's not an easy embroidery, imagine the stressed for the complete 5 days, you did great, more grace.
Thank you for your kind words! You are very talented, so I really appreciate your opinion. I hope you have a happy new year!
