I don't do alot of it but when i need it I do use some of it in my projects.
I like to draw my own designs but they are more old fashioned than most of what you see today.
Anyone else still doing it by hand?
I've done embroidery on my quilt labels. For instance, I just made a pineapple block quilt and the label has a pineapple on it along with my daughter's name and signed by me (all embroidered), oh and the date, of course. Also on a quilt for my grand baby, I added a heart hand embroidered, with my grandbabies' name.
