Embroidery Workshop

 

Sometimes you need to spoil yourself -
I did, when I decided to go to one of Karen Marie's embroidery workshops.

 



 

 

 

I got started on cross stitch as a teenager. Then I did no cross stitch
for several years until getting interested in the inspiring Zakka world.
The possibility of free hand stitching has tempted me a lot.
I just needed to learn something about the different stitches.
That's why I went to this workshop - 7 hours in imbroidery heaven
with a group of talented crafters.

I still have so much to learn, but now I'm learning.

I hope to mix it with my passion for patchwork.

You must visit Stine's blog - she is knit designer and made
the most wonderful feathers on one of her knit projects.

weekend fun

yes, I try to de-stash,

but it don't keep me from spoiling myself just a little bit.

I made a lot of cross stitch many years ago,

but now I want to try freehand stitching instead.

Maybe I should spoil myself with one of Karen Marie's workshops.

Ready for a coffee break, when my hubby is back,

from his biking class at the gym.

He is coaching a team for La Marmotte this summer

Tonight: Hushpuppy

Happy weekend everyone.

Alma Olsen

..who was she? ....did she made this lovely needlework..!?

I hope, she had a long and happy life

I like to know, that my thrift finds have a story
- it would be so interesting to know some of the stories

I like cross stitch alphabets.
Maybe there are old fashioned, but I like them.
When I see a name on the work, I know, there is a story behind the name.

 I would like to have my own cross stitch alphabet one day.
I like a mix of different fonts like this one from Supertanten.
