Well done.

Me thinks you are much too hard on yourself. It really is very well done. :thumbup:

I took the class just to see if it was something I wanted to pursue. The jury is still out on that question, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I'm not happy with the hoop I have, and so suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I couldn't figure out how to rock the needle at all, and so it's strictly stab stitching. That's the way I embroider too. Maybe I'm not cut out for anything else.

Wow! That is beautiful! I have been hand-quilting (self-taught)...I think I better take a class!!! Great job!

I think it's beautiful! If you enjoyed it, just keep at it, all of this takes practice, & the right tools. Find a frame you like better, & give it a try! Handwork is soothing to the soul, I think, & I enjoy doing some too, in different forms. I think we are all too critical of our own work also, yours do look great!....

I think it's gorgeous ! My hand stitching would never look that good.

You did a great job! It's hard to believe it's your first stab at it. Has to be much better than mine would be.

I think it looks great!

Forgot to ask - how long did it take you to do that (the hand quilting)?

WOW, you are a natural!! Looks fantastic, thank you for sharing. Friends of mine use a Yasmine floor stand with hoop and LOVE it, they are a bit pricey, though.
