I have been bitten by the hand embroidery bug something fierce! I start a new project a day, pretty much. It has replaced, dare I say it, my nightly MDC obsession! Egads!

Impressive work!

I've been wanting to do some hand embroidered tea towels, but it never seems to rise above my other projects.

Thanks for all the love! It is seriously addictive. I'm doing a hula girl and little palm trees now that I'm gonna stuff for little dolls.

Oh my gosh! Me too!!! Dp keeps joking that he's going to have to "cut me off" before everything in the house has been embroidered.

I've recently done a dragonfly, a flower and a butterfly. I had to run to the shop for more floss, but I'm ready to do more today! Dd is getting cherries on her blue jeans this afternoon.

When I was home over the holidays I asked my mom and grandma if they had any embroidery patterns laying around and WOW you should see what I got! : I can't wait to get started on them!

I hand embroidery!

Can I join?? I love embroidering too. I will see if I can post some photos of what I have made tomorrow.
I used to love embroidering my ds´s name on his shirts/pyjamas when he was much younger...

Right now I am into doing pillow covers.

I'm interested in getting into this more. Where do you get your patterns? I don't think I could do it without a pattern. I'm not artistic enough!

ETA: That Sublime Stitching page is great!

Those are very cute. I haven't gone the embroidery route, but maybe it won't be long

Wow. it all looks really cool! One of these days I'll get around to learning hand embroidery. I like it so much better than machine.
