Meet the Maker
I’ve been a Maker since I was a young child. I remember rushing to finish my worksheets in 1st grade so I could draw and color. My parents engaged my creativity with origami books, watercolor sets, sketch pads, beads and yarn. I was, and am, surrounded by women who love fiber arts. My Grandma gifted me a stamped cross-stitch square and embroidery floss. My Granny crocheted dozens of afghans of all sizes. My Mom indulged my clumsy attempts at making my own clothing on a Singer Genie. My best friend and I explored crochet and quilting. My godmother showed me how to knit, but I could never get the hang of it! During college I majored in Visual Art Education with a concentration in Fiber Arts.
I continue to explore different mediums - watercolor paint, embroidery, jewelry making and polymer clay. I’ve created original and published original crochet patterns (a collection of crochet plant patterns and holiday gnomes).
I sell online through Abby Farmer Creations.
I live in Dallas, Texas with my husband, Phil and our fur-babies, Duncan & Cassie. I’ve been a member of Wycliffe since 2005 and work as the Canvas administrator for Dallas Int’l University.
How it’s Made
Creating an embroidery necklace like this involves several steps. Here’s a general overview of the process:
Design: The first step is to design the embroidery pattern for the necklace. This can be done by sketching the desired floral pattern directly on the fabric or onto water-soluble stabilizer.
Materials: I use fabric, embroidery floss in different shades, and needles for sewing. I secure the fabric in an embroidery hoop to keep it taut.
Stitching: I use a variety of stitches including satin stitch, back stitch, French knots, and lazy daisy. I use 1-3 strands of floss, depending on how dense the stitch-work is. I love creating different textures with stitch combinations.
Finishing: Once I am done stitching, I remove the work from the embroidery hoop. If needed, I place the fabric in water to dissolve the ink or stabilizer. I add a running stitch outside the sitch work and I trim away any excess fabric and smooth it to remove wrinkles.
Assembly: I select a cabochon to fit the bezel. I place it behind the fabric and tighten the running stitch
es to secure it. Then, I securely glue the piece into the bezel and allow the glue to dry.
I add a necklace (chain or faux leather cord) to complete the necklace.
