Thanks everyone. :-)
Embroidery is my first love. I learned at my grandmother's knee (she was from Sweden) when I was quite young. I have embroidered many table cloths, and table runners for myself and as gifts.
It is hard to find patterns today... everyone seems to like cross stitch. I like the intricate stitches required for embroidery.
If anyone has a recommendation for places to find embroidery patterns, please let me know.
