Greetings beetle lovers, poop enthusiasts, and profanity aficionados!
I created this embroidery pattern as a way to encourage myself to get sh#@ done, without too much pressure and without a sappy quote. And now I’m sharing it with you :)

This pattern uses 11 DMC colours
It’s sized for an 8” hoop, or a 6” square frame, but you can size it up or down in a photocopier as you like.
Stitches used: split stitch, back stitch, satin stitch, bullion knots, and cross hatching
To give the beetle’s body a nice round look, there are 2 layers of quilt batting under the satin stitch

The pattern is 10 pages and includes:
Pattern outline from the front and in reverse
Tools & materials
Colour guide & suggestions
Stitch guide & illustrated diagrams
Instructions on stuffing under the satin stitch
An internet link for bullion knot video instrcutions
Colour photo of full piece & stitch close ups
Tips & suggestions throughout
