I have been giving embroidery needles a workout and have been creating some embroidery for new designs to combine with quilting. As you can see, I have help – my cat Bandit has to inspect what I am doing. He quickly lost interest and settled down for a nap, which is a good thing with needles flying back and forth.
Embroidery has been my first love for needlework. I started needlework at a very young elementary school age by my aunt as an excellent teacher. All the women in my family, my mother, aunts and grandmother, all spent a lot of time with needles with various mediums – quilting, crochet, knitting, sewing and needlework. I’ve continued with each medium except for knitting (I love knitting but keep forgetting how to knit between projects).
I am delighted to see young and fresh embroidery designs being created and love that embroidery continues with its “nine lives”!
Check back as I will be showing the finished design!
I hope you pick up your needles, no matter the medium!
