The next step in the White Deer Quilt; with Applique Tutorials.
After my last post I have spent between 2 and 3 hours to get to the next step. I have appliqued the white deer to the background material and have begun the embroidery.
I have used the Stem, Seed and Chain embroidery stitches so far. The pink of the ears, eyes and nose are appliqued onto the white. Make sure to click on the images below to get the close up views, especially the tutorials.

I admire how prolific you are in so many different disciplines; your artworks are wonderful—very inspiring to me!
