For the Love of Hand Embroidery has begun.
Jane our wonderful hostess is promoting her love of hand embroidery and wanted to share it with others. My grandmother taught me to embroider when I a was a little girl. I have never lost my love of embroidery. This is just a sneak peek of what I am working on. My turn is November 18.
This is a quote from
Jane's post and why she wants to share--
These posts are meant to inspire you, to encourage you, challenge you, educate you, delight you, and hopefully invite you to try or to continue this enjoyable craft.
Here is the schedule for August. Our hostess has begun the hop. Go by and see the wonderful projects Jane has made. If you go to Jane's blog you can see the whole schedule so you don't miss out on seeing some wonderful embroidered projects.
AUGUST

With Passion,

What a great idea! I love hand embroidery too and I find seeing other people's work inspires me to slow down, pull out some fabric and start stitching. Your stitches are so even, I'm impressed :-) Thanks for sharing this.
Enjoy your week,
Judy
Oh, this is an exciting hop - I love hand embroidery.
Love your sneak peak! Wish my stitches looked like that :-)
I'm loving embroidery and all the links over at Jane's. Question for you Carrie - on the photo in this post, do you do regular back stitch or stab stitch? It looks perfect. I have been using stab stitch, but I have a large new project which I need to use perle rather than floss and am wondering if I can use two strands....hum????
Pretty and so neat!
Oh I love what I am seeing! I cannot wait to see it all!
I'm looking forward to this one, I love hand stitching.
Beautiful stitches, Carrie! Embroidery has always been my first love in sewing!
Cheers!
I can only do a few embroidery stitches my favourite being the colonial knot : )
Your embroidery is beautiful Carrie. Until I get some very important projects completed, I'm not starting anything new. So... I look forward to your progress.
I'll check out Jane's place next.
Embroidery has been growing on me the last couple of years. I'll definitely have to spend some time hoppin'! Your sneak peek looks lovely so far. :)
It's been ages for me. I still remember learning in scouts and years later living in Germany I did quite a bit. I'm curious of what your making....I know it will be GOOD!
You do such beautiful work, Carrie. I look forward to seeing your piece.
