I've been working on another cattails piece for one of the spring shows. I'm still not sure which show. I guess it depends on whether it's framed in time for Gardenscape or not. This one has a beautiful apricot sky. It's always fun to find the right thread match.
Isn't that funny? It's perfect, but I wonder how old it is. The spool is styrofoam. Check out the label!

That's so cute. It's not as funny as when I see the name, 'Zwicky Ursus' though. That thread name cracks me up every time (I'm chuckling to myself right now!).
So here it is - a 6x6 inch Cattails # 4. It's getting professionally framed this week. The ribbons are from RibbonSmyth (see link on sidebar.) Some were dyed by her, some were dyed by me. I love them. I just want to work with ribbon so much more now.

OH! So I guess you are wondering who won the Mastering the Art of Embroidery book giveaway?
Have a good day everyone, and THANK YOU for all the comments! I read each one at least twice. Your words were just as fulfilling as being in the book in the firstplace. I am so very grateful. : )

Wow, I love Cattails at Sundown Monika, amazing colours. It almost looks like it's glowing.
It is such a pretty sky! There have been quite a few times while rummaging through my threads for just the right one that I've found one of yours and I think of you!
I got my ribbon order yesterday and I'm so pleased!
Wow ... fantabulous !!!
You are so great at what you do !
Gorgeous Monika!!! I love the cattials
Stunning color combination, and I LOVE the use of ribbon for the cattail leaves! It gives them the perfect glossiness and texture. Lovely piece!
It's funny how I've never noticed before how perfectly your stitching all around the edges matches the colours in your art. It's so perfect that until you show the colour of the thread like this, one doesn't think of it. So lovely.
lost for words -- except AMAZING...
I know what you mean! I got my order of ribbons from Ribbonsmyth on Monday and I can't keep my hands off them. They are so lovely. Thanks for the tip.
Beautiful cattails, Monika! And Molly, I definitely think a lottery ticket is in order. Congrats on the fabric pack and book!
Wow! I LOVE the sky, and the cat tails! Have you considered selling high quality prints of your work? I'd be first in line to buy one! Beautiful!!
Was für fantastische Farben! Ich habe auch schon über den Namen diesen Faden geschmunzelt.
Your work is exquisite! Takes my breath away....
Recently discovered your work. So beautiful and inspirational! Thank you for sharing with us.
