Embroidery
Since I have taken up reading blogs I find myself doing a lot of embroidery which I have not done since I was a little girl. There are so many talented ladies out there that share their talent with us. One of the blogs I read is Knot-y Girls Stitchery Club. It is by Meg Hawkey of Crabapple Hill. I love her designs and have done several of her patterns. It was another one I just could not pass up. And if you are like me you have time to get it done before the September one is published. LOL

Me too! I haven't embroidered for years, but everyone in the Blogsphere seems to be doing it! Now I'm tempted. I'm not a "heart" person, so I can pass on this one, but there are lots of other designs that are quite appealing. And I'm thinking of trying to design a couple of my own, maybe to combine with pieced blocks.
Oh very sweet!
The block is so pretty, Carrie! I've downloaded it, but not gotten a start yet --- until I saw yours!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Cheers!
Well, Miz P, would you prefer to be referenced henceforth as "Supportive Enabler" or "Bad Influence" ?
I downloaded most of the freebies from Crabapple Hill. I'm off to investigate the Stitchery Club (I seem to qualify as a Knot-y Girl). :sigh:
You're right, it seems to be the "in" thing right now and I'm loving it. But this stuff takes SO LONG to do!! (I'm sooo tempted to free-motion it on my sewing machine!!)
oh, carrie! it's gorgeous!
Knitting, crocheting, embroidery. Lots of that going around and it's contagious I tell ya! No cure. Gorgeous block.
Oooh, I love it. I have definitely been caught up in the embroidery frenzy and wonder what I did before I blogged--must have been pretty boring.
What a lovely design, you've done a lovely job of it.
Stephanie's right. It's all too contageous. Now we just have to increase the amount of hours in a day.
Gorgeous job, Carrie!
Blogging took me back to embroidery also. I'm really glad I jumped it with both feet. That block is beautiful, Carrie. And, tempting, too. :-)
Carrie, that BOM looks lovely. I love visiting that site also, so inspiring all of their projects.
Carrie you did a beautiful job.
Carrie I cannot email you personally because the link for that BOM has spyware and my computer froze. I had to use another computer to let you know that the link may be dangerous.
This turned out so pretty. I too have been doing more stitchery lately. Its fun.
I haven't embroidered for years either, but all these pretty designs make me want to start again. I wish there was at least another 6 hours in every day! :)
Don't you just love stitcheries. You don't have to count anything like cross-stitch. It's so relaxing!
You are a pro! That is adorable.
If you would have told me 5 yrs ago that I would be doing embroidery, I would have thought you were on crack. Now I LOVE it.
Your work is always worth a second and third look, simply beautiful and elegant.
Back in the cyber world, trying to get a feel again slow but sure.
I'm so enjoying getting caught up on everyone's projects, their families, their interests and just "life".
Carrie, please forgive the extended time I had away from blogging. I have a few dear blogs to catch up on and yours is absolutely one of the ones I return to time and again.
hugs and blessings
You and me both - I need more hands and more time! I'm saving them all though. Love your heart, it turned out darling!
Beautiful pattern and beautiful stitching!
What a lovely design...
Pattern is beautiful...

Beautiful job Carrie! I went to the site and printed the pattern so I may give it a go. I do like to embroider though I don't do it often.
What a pretty pattern. I did a french knot the other day on an applique block and was really impressed that it came out right, like you it's been many many years since I have embroidered.
Crispy
Gorgeous!
Though I've only recently started embroidery, I understand what you mean! As I've found new blogs, and seen more and more beautiful embroidery, I've been so inspired! I actually just recently bought a Crabapple Hill embroidery pattern to try and do as a Christmas gift. We'll see how it goes! :)
That heart is just lovely!
Your embroidery is gorgeous!
Your little heart is so delicate and dainty....and I love the word
'dance' with it!!
So pretty - I love the little french knowt around the heart and the flowers. I have to check out the link.
What a pretty little embroidery!
