Your embroidery is phenomenal. What a steady hand you have. Can't believe the work you put into this and it shows. But then grandchildren are more than worth it aren't they? Keep designing, you definitely have a talent. Can't wait to see more!

I hooped the fabric, then just started sewing on a straight stich with a embroider foot (I have a Brother embroidery machine-but this is free hand embroidery). It is like coloring with thread.
