I thought that any of Women’s Thoughts members who like to embroider could add a few stitches to their current project, we will have to be virtual, there are plenty of workshops on the day, or get togethers, just none near me. I will be working on my current project, which is a sampler, but it’s not an alphabet, will reveal all on the day. |

Looking forward to seeing your work Jazzy
I don't embroider myself but it looks like one of those therapeutic activities which encourage groups too, which is always positive |

Jazzy, I'm not doing embroidery at the moment. I am working (slowly) through a cross stitch.
Does that count?

It is absolutely ok to show the name of the site Jazzy and add a link. Links are fine for members to add. It is the links that business people put on who are posing as members which we delete.

I don’t embroider either Jazzy but I’m knitting at the moment so I’ll think of you on Tuesday as I continue with my baby blanket. Baby due this week so I need to get a wiggle on!

I do embroidery but don't understand how to shrink the pics I have taken of mine to put on here. Will ask my nephew when he visits next month.

I'll be cheering you on Gracie, need to finish your baby blanket pretty damn quick by the sound of it  That's a nuisance Linda, I would like to see your embroidery, my problem too as regards to photos. My embroidery is a stitch sampler. Printed on to a piece of linen are eighteen squares, each with a different stitch to complete, one square is left blank for you to add your own choice of embroidery, maybe the date, initials etc, the picture on the site I am about to tell you about shows bullion knots in the centre, I will be working on that square next Tuesday. Go to nickifranklin.com ~ now click on 'shop' ~ scroll down on the left hand side to click on 'embroidery kits' ~ first row, second picture is Anniversary kit stitch sampler, click on that, and my embroidery for the day will be revealed  |
