The first one = wow. That is a lot of awesome. And a metric fuckton of plotting designs, needles, and embroidery thread just to get to the point of putting it together for animation. Nice embroidery machine too.

The second one was pretty. While it gives me thread lust, it just didn't catch me the way the first one did.

Thank you for showing them off!

This is super cool. I love needlework/knitting threads. Wife loved the pictures in the first link. I like the second. For a few years I mentioned my grandmother and low and behold, Thelma made the Internet.
Thanks for posting this.

Love this v v much. I keep meaning to learn to embroider, and this may finally be the impetus I need.
