Tonight is my embroidery class! I am all set. I have my sampler:
I have other examples of embroidery to show them:
(not shown: Children’s Book Quilt embroideries, Saturation, a couple more cross-stitch pieces, as well as some pictures of pieces I found online)
All but one of the pieces above are by me; the tea towel was a flea market find.
I have a blog post on the Sew-Op’s blog with informative and inspiring links.
I have a box of floss:
I have handouts!
(not shown: a few hand-drawn rub-on patterns of simple things)
Incidentally, I wound all that floss by hand, half a skein per bobbin. At some point I decided to unwind and halve a whole bunch of skeins at once, thinking I might like it better if I could just wind and wind and wind. I almost didn’t want to wind any of it because it was such a pretty installation art piece:
Wish me luck!
P.S. Happy birthday, Mom!
