I did love it and made many things for myself and as gifts. Somehow I have lost all of them too, which is very sad. I really loved the cross stitch that was printed on the fabric already. I never did like counted cross stitch. I made a few samplers and pillowcases too, and towells. I also loved the needlepoint where you used yarn to do the cross stitch or embroidery. It usually came in kits. My eyesight is not as good now, so the little fine work is probably not for me, although I still crochet now and then. That felt heart really draws me in though! xoxo MarilynMarilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-8611353915334949392022-02-02T12:26:13.609-05:002022-02-02T12:26:13.609-05:00Like you, at an earlier age I embroidered many ite...Like you, at an earlier age I embroidered many items. My mother taught me how to embroider when I was a little girl. I remember starting on pillow cases. Through the years I have embroidered on many things - and loved it. I have gotten away from my crafts the past few years. Recently I found someone who enthusiastically still embroiders so I offered her my collection of threads. She was thrilled to get them - and I didn't feel guilty each time I saw them sitting there unused. Your pictures call to me to try to duplicate that lovely heart but I admit that is probably my 'fantasy self'.JanLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941212679721417444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-10943158466195373662022-02-02T11:57:18.447-05:002022-02-02T11:57:18.447-05:00I enjoy simple embroidery - sticking to backstitch...I enjoy simple embroidery - sticking to backstitching and occasional french knot. There are so many resources but tracing a simple design from a coloring book can be so much fun to do delightful practice pieces. <br />Take a peek at Crabapple Hill Studio - she designs beautiful things. Jump in with both feet and have fun. Great way to while away the hours. I enjoy a variety of hobbies that involve a needle and thread.
