Iviva's Embroidery

I met Iviva Olenick at Church of Craft a couple months ago. I was working on something I can't talk about yet, and she was doing embroidery. We liked each other's work a lot, so we decided to trade - I gave her a squid (it was the sample from the Squiddity pattern, so it was "a squid I had on hand"), and she did some embroidery for me. She asked me for a phrase to embroider - I gave her a couple to choose from and asked her to interpret them however she wanted. She wound up doing both (she kind of loved the squid)... I totally love what she made - want to see?

From the finale of It, where the kids banish the It-monster with tongue-twisters.

From the Kimya Dawson song my heroes. I keep it on my inspiration board.

They both mean a hell of a lot to me in a million different ways. Thanks again, Iviva!
