Pretty. I suppose one would need an intutive feel for embroidery to be able to get intricacy going. That’s some skill there. Pretty.

Down the years I also used children's drawings as a basis for needlework - they last so much longer than the paper version stuck on the fridge or kitchen cupboard doors. Now you have given me an idea for next week! :D Mrs E,

Seeing them actually stitched is so much more helpful than a book. I have a very old copy of the Anchor Encyclopedia of Needlework from which I learned, but this is a new stitch to me. I'm about half an hour from finishing a tablecloth I simply didn't like after the first week of working on it. I'll be glad to see it finished. My little boy wants me to embroider a chart of the Periodic Table for him. Do you know, I'm actually considering it? So hard to say no to them ;) I’m really enjoying the tutorials on various embroidery stitches. Seeing them actually stitched is so much more helpful than a book.
