I don't do alot of it but when i need it I do use some of it in my projects.
I like to draw my own designs but they are more old fashioned than most of what you see today.
Anyone else still doing it by hand?
Hi Rhonda I do hand embroidery and so do LOTS of the ladies in the group I belong to. I'm machine quilting a Halloween Theme quilt my friend did right now. And I'm working on this really cute BOM, http://cinderberrystitches.typepad.com/ I've got all the block now but between being really sick for a month and behind on the quilt I'm suppose to quilt... I've only got three blocks completed. If you enjoy hand work you'll love meeting this darling lady from Australia.. Enjoy~
