Hey everybody! This week I’m featuring the eclectic and anomalous Saint Lucy Belle, aka Barbara Randall.
Barbara’s work doesn’t fit into a specific category, unless that category is simply awesome.
Here we see her take on the American icon which is the Jackalope. Enigma indeed!
Her stitching is excellent, but her sense of humor adds something special to every piece she creates.
This piece speaks of love and loss. Also, snarkiness.
This stitched portrait of Lily Munster is deliciously campy. It’s also full of beautiful details, though, like the lovely fabric she used for the dress.
This pretty pinup likes long stumbles on the beach and enjoying a romantic dinner of brains over candlelight. She hates shotguns, chainsaws, and phoneys.
If you want to see more of Barbara’s work, check out her flickr photostream or her etsy store. There are all sorts of goodies waiting for you!

Being a country girl, I totally love the turkeys. Not only is the detail crazy good – the stitched comment is Hilarious!
Oh wow, I just love your BLOG and the work I am seeing, these are just wonderful.
ps. I managed to add your link YEA! not sure what was up with blogger yesterday.
what an excellent blog you have going here – thanks for putting the shout out about it on the other blog – you are an incredible researcher – are you aware of that? Kudos!
Thanks for the nice words, Lady P. Here at Mr X Stitch we use the Beefranck 3000 Search Engine. It’s still in beta version but it does a top notch job of researching, writing and posting excellent articles on the finest stitchers around.
What an amazing artist! I have to say, I love every bit of it!
Oh & the link to her etsy store is just linking back to this post, thought I’d give you a heads up
And THAT’S why I’m still in beta. Fixed now!
Beefranck has amazing work! It’s so great to see a collection here.
nice work.
I love Barbara’s stitchery!
Would you all like to see the real work and not the from “your friends at Starbucks” work that someone would like you to think is mine. Thanks Starbucks for building 5 coffee shops in our city in one year.
