embroidery types

I know embroidery is not for everyone. However, not everybody knows that there is more to embroidery than a few stitches on some fabric. There are all sorts of beautiful types! Here are a few of types (many I have not attempted):

Applique

When I first looked at this particular "category" of embroidery, I thought that it was simply sewing (which, by the way, I used to despise). However, it is actually a combination! 

Note: This is not mine, It is a completely RANDOM example of applique, :D

Whitework

This, to me, is not exactly my FAVORITE type of embroidery. It seems a little boring and uncolorful. But whatever floats your boat!

Note: This is ALSO not my doing! Also, there is such thing as blackwork and redwork.

Stumpwork

Stumpwork is another thing that I do NOT do - not because I don't like it, though, but because it's just too darn HARD! But, if you like a good challenge, this is for you:

Reminds me of applique, a bit.
