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.

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!....
