Make it your own embroidery class -- show your work

[Gloria B.]

I renewed on 12/5/2021. I have not received a download for the two books.

[Noella D.]

I love your needle minder, it’s lovely! I love books too! Your letter is perfect, I will have to try something like that too if you don’t mind?

[Karla W.]

Looks fantastic!!

[Karla W.]

Wow! Looks fantastic! Love your colors!

SEW, I should be wrapping presents, but I am SEW addicted to stitching this project! Pieced my background using Moda Grunge Cotton and stitching with size 8 Presencia thread. Highly recommend Moda Grunge for embroidery. Has a shimmering/shadow-like impact. SEW far, I have stitched stem, chain, and backstitch. Can't wait to try Alex's vine with lazy daisy, French knots, and backstitch! Happy Stitching from Maryland!!

FUN cannot adequately describe what this class is. I never knew what joy I was missing. Thank you, Alex, for introducing me to a new hobby.

[Carol G.]

I made a lot of progress today while my husband had a procedure done. I definitely made it my own with my initial on it! Pleased with how the 'C' turned out.

Some of my latest stitches

If all goes well this will be a new rectangular pillow for my bed. I found some felt "buttons" in my stash and decided to try out some placements inside and out of circles. See Christen Brown's photos for ideas of how to incorporate. Notice how I stored my thread- Thanks to Lilo Bowman for suggestion to use 18-count clear egg carton. Brilliant!!!
I searched "embroidered mandalas" on Pinterest and found lots of ideas for combining and expanding the simple stitches we are learning from Alex.

love the slivers! Very Ricky Tims.

Finally started

Hi Rose from Philly here! I'm still waiting for my fabric to arrive, but in the meantime, I'm working on some cute Christmas embroidery. Sparkly snowpeople with crayon enhancement... and a piece from years ago... still not quilted. Alex will recognize the designs and some of the fabrics. Sorry, seems that one of the pics got turned around

Rose from Philly, What cute snow people blocks. Is that a Crabapple Hill pattern? I did Hook, Line and Sinker but applique and by machine. Now that I am learning hand embroidery I will be going back and looking at their patterns with new eyes. HelenW

Your butterfly is beautiful. Now I am off to see difference between French Knot (which I am familiar with) and a Colonial Knot.

Sandy, I googled how to do a Colonial Knot in hand embroidery and the video by Sarah Homphray was the easiest to learn. Mary Corbet also does an excellent job of
demonstrating stitches. I have been binge watching Sarah Homphray Embroidery. I feel like a sponge. There is so much I don't know. HelenW
