Baseball & Embroidery!

April 9, 2013
Share


Did you catch it? (That's a baseball joke.) ESPN hired me to embroider a portrait of Justin Verlander for a commercial that's airing now. (If you follow me on instagram, this is the secret project I was stitching a few months ago.) How'd this happen? Turns out the commercial's director, Matt Dilmore, is a huge baseball fan and fan of my work. It's a funny world.

Here's the commercial:


Meeting the deadline required two, ten-hour stitching sessions. Plus the preparation, sketch approval etc. It was grueling in the way embroidery can be, but totally enjoyable. 

Turns out, I'm a fan of Matt's work too! I love this insane commercial he directed for Dish Network. If you saw it, you probably remember it. 

So, where's the portrait? ESPN gave it to Verlander as a gift I'm told. Hope he likes it!

PORTRAIT - Sublime Embroidery Floss Palette
Gasp!

You won't find these colors anywhere else. They are captivating! You can only appreciate "Eyeliner" when you have it in your hand. Send PORTRAIT to anyone who loves embroidery floss and they will be floating for days. Is this the 8th review I've written? Lol.

Game Changer

This product makes hand embroidery on knit fabric so much easier! I’m still getting the hang of the tear away once I’m finished, so I’m taking away one star. Otherwise, great!

I couldn't live without these pens! No blotches or smearing, and nice thin lines. Easily covered with stitching. So much faster. I can make a lot of copies before I run out of ink. Love them!

CORALINE Handkerchiefs Embroidery Kit
This is my favorite website!

Sublime Stitching is exactly as advertised - Sublime! The site has a happy atmosphere combined with an intuitive ordering platform. Easy peasy to get exactly what you want. And fast. When you want to embroider something, you don’t want to wait around for ages for the transfers to arrive. So, I love the instant PDFs that are emailed to me. But when I want an actual transfer, it arrives quickly in the mail. No compromises here. Can’t go wrong with Sublime Stitching!
