Another piece for my fandom flower posters. I really enjoyed working on this one in particular though, since I grew up surrounded by Tolkien’s work!~

After planning, printing out the pattern, 179 hours of hand embroidery, and quilt backing, the Beleriand Embroidery Project is COMPLETE! 🎉
Size wise, it is 33 inches long and 41.5 inches wide. Time wise, I started the project in the beginning of March 2025, and have completed it on the very last day of September 2025. Seven months! Not bad!
I am extremely happy with how it turned out! It was so much fun and a lot easier than I thought it would be (except for the border, which gave me the most trouble!).
I feel like I know Beleriand so much more now! There’s something about physically putting in each place that helps to hammer home where everything is in relation to the stories being told within the Silmarillion.
Thank you all for your lovely comments on my previous posts! I treasure all of them 🥰
Now on to the next map!
