Hi Always quilting,
I am from the Kansas city area. Mentioned you work at a Missouri quilt shop. I love going to other quilt shop, would you mind sharing what quilt shop. I have been to some as far west as Durango, Co. down by 4 corners. And as far east as Stover, Mo. I also have family that lives by the Capital in Mo. I love traveling during the summer and checking out other shops. Thanks, Cyniree |
hi,
I can cross stitch, and embroider, but I don't do them much anymore. I mostly quilt, knit and crochet. I'm under the impression that knitting and crocheting are in an upswing rather than dieing out. peel |
I'm working on a project that is going to be put into a quilt.An done a baby blanket for my grandson whoturns two montha old in a couple of days.

(All she's been able to find is pillowcases at Michaels. She says "I really have no imagination, I need it spelled out.") Here's a few names: Algerian Eye: Alternating Cross: Alternating Barred Chain Arrow stitch see Arrowhead stitch Arrowhead Stitch: Arrowhead Stitch Threaded: She's trying to find something to use them in and color coded too. She's spent quite some time on the internet, but must not know the right way to find it. :cry: If anyone can help her we'd be most greatful! The Embroidery Stitch Bible by Betty Barnden over 200 stitches photographed with easy-to-follow charts I love this book. I got it on Amazon.com. I believe I paid around 7 or 8 dollars, before shipping, and it is spiral bound. I am a very visual learner, and i can follow this book with no problem. I haven't gotten into anything very intricate, mind you. I did embroidery as a teenager, and a little cross stitch, and am just getting back into both. I love to look at other ppl's machine embroidery pictures, but I'd rather do my own embroidery. Right now, having so many projects going, I just embellish things, a bit here and there, but I am going to do a crazy quilt for one of the grandbabies, so it will have a lot of embroidery stitches on it. I don't know how many ppl still do it, but I know it's not dead. One of my girls, crochets and cross stitches, but doesn't like hemming. It's not my favorite thing to do, but I really don't mind it. |

I do hand embroidery and very little machine--I do some fancy stitches on my Rose. I am now working on English Paper Piecing as my hand work, but will do embroidery later in the year. I have a needlepoint Christmas sock to do also. I love handwork and love to do redwork.

I have enjoyed hand embroidery for years now and actually make good money doing primitive banners. We have a little country shop in our town that contracts my work and I can't keep up with the demand. I broke my thumb in December from the stress of embroidery. Won't do that again. Its taken 5 months to heal but I am starting back now a little at a time.

I do hand embroidery. My mom taught me when I was young and have loved it sense.
