November 8, 2009 - My first embroidery

I had to work all weekend, but I managed to steal moments here and there to work on my first embroidery project. You know, all of you who said I should try it, you were right! It is wonderful fun! Here's my first block, something I've seen lots of other people working on lately, a block from the Gail Pan Christmas Wish BOM. I will definitely be making more.  I learned three stitches with varying degrees of success: backstitch, lazy daisy and french knot.

can't believe you took so long to convert, you are a natural! Look at those beautiful small stitches!
it has been years since I did any hand embroidery. I perfer to use crochet thread and a larger stitch (more primitive look) Enjoy your new hobby. cw

It came out great - doesn't look like beginner work to me. The perfect sentiment for Christmas time.
