Beetle Collection by Jessica Long Embroidery turns a lineup of colorful insects into a playful hand embroidery sampler filled with texture, pattern, and bold color.
Each beetle is built from classic hand embroidery stitches used in different combinations, giving the individual insects their own patterns and personalities. Rather than simply repeating the same technique across the design, the sampler encourages you to experiment with how familiar stitches can be arranged and combined to produce very different effects.
A palette of 10 bright DMC cotton embroidery floss colors stands out beautifully against the crisp white background. The result has the organized appeal of a traditional specimen collection, but interpreted through contemporary hand embroidery and a much livelier use of color.
The design is permanently printed onto the fabric, so there's no pattern transferring required. DMC floss comes organized on a floss card, and the color-printed pattern includes suggested stitch order, stitch and color keys, and a close-up photograph of the completed embroidery for reference.
It's a fun choice for stitchers who enjoy insects, nature, colorful embroidery, or sampler-style projects, as well as anyone who wants to explore familiar stitches in new combinations.

About the Design
Beetle Collection works as both a finished piece of embroidery and a stitch sampler. Each beetle provides another opportunity to see how changes in stitch type, direction, color, and combination can completely alter the appearance of a motif.
The bright palette keeps the collection whimsical rather than scientifically literal, while the orderly arrangement of the beetles gives the finished piece the feel of a colorful insect collection.
