Embroidery Bug

4:41 PM | Posted by Nutmeg Quilts | | Edit Post
I have been bitten by the embroidery bug! Here is a teaser of an original embroidery design that I am stitching.

I have been cross stitching and embroidering for years and practically have every DMC floss color. But a renewed interest has me soaking up tips from books, magazines and other talented stitchers (Thank you Edye!) This is a new venture and it is an exciting challenge! I hope you will weigh in your thoughts and tips as well.

P.S. Are you wondering about those red lines all over my stitchery? They come
right out when you apply heat! Yet another reason I am thankful to live in
this age of technology and convenience.
