Wow thanks everyone! It was so much fun figuring out new stitches and all the colors I love lots and lots of color you would not know it with my house being all earthtones but... bright colors are my passion. Come on I was raised in the 80's.

It is a tea towel and I added the striped fabric that I got at a quilting shop in Oregon a year ago. I finally was able to use it.

wow! I love love love these little guys. I love the stitches in the tail of the orange bird. What are the stitches in the little blue flowers? I can't tell ....

And I know what you mean about challenging yourself. I need to do that. I get so comfy cozy with my usual stitches, that I forget to whip out my giant Embroidery stitch dictionary and try something new. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!

I am so overwhelmed at the response. Thank you all so very much.

I put notes on the picture of all the new stitches and the stitch names.

I saved this pattern from Hoop Love too but wasn't sure it was this good - this is amazing, the colours and the stitching are perfect. I think I might try a small project and try out some new stitches to challenge myself like you have - how inspiring!
