Wow! You did well for a first attempt!!! Way to go!! I've never done it, so can't offer any help at all... just wanted to say how nice it is!

Thank you so much!! If you look carefully, one of the wheat embroidered places was upside down! I have pulled it out and redone it since I took that pic!
As for the hummingbirds...I was playing around with 2 diff. colored threads on top...that's why the hummer looks so fat! Also took the pic before I washed out the wash away stabilizer, so that's what the white is behind the flowers! I have learned a lot and am getting better with every project, and more confident...I love embroidery and can't wait to start my next project!!
