Comment by Susan Low on January 2, 2013 at 12:12: Lovely work, Susan!!!! I am thinking of expanding my horizon and try some needle painting from Threads and Needles. Looking at your work is inspiring me to give it a try.

Comment by Margo on December 24, 2012 at 12:53: embroidering tea towels is a great idea. That's how my Gran taught me to embroider, that and pillow cases.

Comment by Janet Conrad on December 23, 2012 at 11:27: I've joined this group because I'm interested in learning about Embroidery. All I've done, primarily is cross stitch. Looking to venture out because I'm getting bored and disinterested in the cross stitch. However, I'm a bit nervous to start. Don't know how or what to do first. So, I'll just sit here and watch - and learn from all of you. :-)
