I have been trying to incorporate some new-to-me stitches in my latest embroideries, and I thought it would be fun to share what I'm learning, so I'm starting with a tutorial for the long-and-short stitch.

We've been working to get bees at our house, which I've been very excited about. I seem to have bees on the brain when I sketch, so I couldn't resist a little bee-broidery. I enjoyed stitching this little bee, and I like that I have a good way now to sew up a tiny bee, which will come in handy for some future stitching projects. I had one idea that I'd been working on with little bees flying out of something, but they looked more like flies and stink lines. I'm looking forward to trying again with my newfound skills....

Here's the second embroidery pattern I created to help new embroiderers dive into the craft. Just like the Clover pattern, this is a fairly simple pattern that will give you some practice with stem stitch, running stitch, and satin stitch.

I've been working on a little series of embroidery patterns intended for beginners to try their hand at a little variety of stitches. This clover is the first of those patterns.
