I just took a Dimensional Embroidery class last weekend here in West Virginia. My quilting mentor, Martha Offutt, designs the most beautiful patterns. You can get her patterns at 4seasonsstitchery and other places and directly from her. She teaches all sorts of 3-D flowers etc. and has made the most magnificent embroidered quilts! If you ever have a chance to take a class from her or try her patterns you should do it!!! There are others who try to teach her patterns but I wouldn't waste the money on them!
