A Stitch at a time!

Wonderful Embroidery!

I have recently been trying to teach myself embroidery and am really enjoying the challenge!

I have no idea what any of the stitches are called or even if they exist outside of my imagination, as I am making it up as I go along, a bit like my life really! I just like to see what my endeavours turn out like and if they resemble something remotely identifiable, then I am pleased. I usually ask my children and hubby "Can you tell what it is?" And if they get anywhere near close to the item, animal or subject I was going for, then that is good enough for me.

I have lots now in my shop, and have even sold a few, which has really pleased me and surprised my friend, (not a fan of home made) who can't understand why anyone would part with cash for something someone made in their front room, but she's not happy unless it is mass produced and has a recognisable name on it, but each to their own.
Here are just three little examples of my embroidery attempts.

But I bow to experience and here are some wonderful embroidered items, in various style and themes that inspire me to try harder and keep going!

Please pin point the item, by clicking on it, which will take you to the Folksy shop in question, where you can really examine the needle work in detail and see just how wonderful it is.

There are so many examples of stunning embroidery on Folksy, I could do a feature blog every day and feature something new and inspiring each time! If you feel inspired to search our embroidered item, please visit Folksy and type 'embroidery' in the search engine and you will be greeted with a wealth of wonderful items.

I hope you have enjoyed my little visit the the land of needlecraft.

Thank you.
