I almost forgot these two, skinny pieces. They were actually the last two finished in 2025 but the photos weren't taken until earlier this month. Hence ... almost forgotten! Each one is the result of polyester stretch velvet shapes fused to synthetic white felt with lots of hand stitching in 100% cotton embroidery floss. I've made several similar skinny pieces but this is the first time I've actually soldered holes through the synthetic layers.

For the most part, soldering holes in these hand-stitched pieces is tricky because the embroidery floss goes all over the reverse side. I had to pay careful attention to where I allowed the return threads to lay! I think it worked out very well!
