I started hand embroider about 3 months ago and love it. I like to always have some handwork going on for watching TV so when I'm between handquilting I work on embroidery. I'm actually doing a BOM. I'll post a link.

I also do counted cross stitch and I've just recently started hand embroidery. I have a project going now that I've posted a few times. I'll post when I finish it.

I have a quilt top that was begun by my mother back in the 60's that has a combination of applique and embroidery on it. I've been doing a little embroidery myself here lately, and after taking another look at hers, mine doesn't stand up to her quality.

I do love the work, it is relaxing to me as is hand quilting. I gotta work on my stitching, though, so my mom won't fuss at me at the Pearly Gates!

Embroidery is still alive and well at my house too. I just don't do the Cross Stitch anymore because I don't see as well. But I love the crewel work and the old fashion embroidery. I am also into the Brazilian embroidery and want to do a quilt top using squares from it. Maybe someday... it will happen.

I love to do hand embroidery! It seems I'm always working on something or other....

I am always looking for new stitches to learn in embroidery. I do know most of the usual ones. does anyone have any sites or pictures of embroidery stitches to share?

I do what I call confusion quilting which is similar to the crumb crazy quilting. I sometimes use embroidery stitches on the checkbooks and other small items.

I'm always looking for more ideas! I like to use a differant stitch for each small seam.

Here is a check book cover I did. Not anything too fancy as far as embroidery goes.

I'm working on some stamped cross stitch blocks and want to combine them in a quilt when they are finished.

I started needle work when my great aunts taught me huck towel weaving.

I have also done embroidery, crewel, latch hook rugs, plastic canvas, sewing clothes, knitting and crochet. Now, quilting is my new hobby to master.

What is huck towel weaving? Pictures?

Would love to see the Brazilian embroidery!

I don't have any pictures handy. It is similar to the Swedsih Weaving. It was done on huck cloth which had threads you pulled embroidery floss under to make designs- similar to Aztec or southwest designs.
I'll try to find some pictures. You might try googling huck towel designs or swedish weaving.
