In the last few years, my niece Allyson has become fascinated with drawing designs featuring eyes. She’s sketched more than 30 different eyes and we’re gradually digitizing them.

She starts with pencil sketches and then develops a final pen-and-ink version. Once her design is digitized, we often need to simplify it a bit to make it easier to stitch.

Here is her Eye #3 from sketch to embroidery pattern to the embroidered sample I stitched.
