A happy avocado

I’ve been embroidering steadily for years, but I haven’t done solid fill stitching in a very long time.

A friend asked me to embroidery an ornament for her avocado obsessed teen. I think I nailed it!

This is embroidered on muslin in a 3"hoop. Such an avocutie! :smiling_face:

Cute and delicious! Your fill stitching is so nicely done. It can be so tedious to do, but it yields such a satisfying result.

I agree. The repetitive nature of fill work along with keeping a smooth line is soothing, at least for me. I put on some mindless show and turn my brain off.

Looks tasty!
…which means it would fit in with this month’s stitchalong theme, the 5 senses.

I haven’t looked at the Stitch Along, so I have no idea how that works.

You stitch something that fits the theme, post a picture, and there’s a random drawing for a prize.
Nobody has posted a stitch yet this month, last day is the 31st.

Yes! Thank you @steiconi! The Stitchalong is low-key and easy to jump in and out of when it fits into your life and schedule. We have a new theme and a new prize each month. Monthly winners also get to choose the new theme. The only rule is that your entry has to be a new stitch on theme (they are usually broad and any loose interpretation is accepted). There is no obligation to enter more than once though we hope you will. No pressure @Bajita, but it’s pretty easy and fun and your avocado would be perfect for this month’s theme!
