I have been doing hand stitching from a young age. Then I went on and learned how to make quilts. My recent still in progress project is "The Crazy Quilt Of My Dreams" with a Heart and Roses theme. I also love beading and would love to learn how to do stumpwork embroidery and tatting.
Where did you learn your textle skills?
I learned how to do embroidery from my grandmother when I was very young girl. Since, I have learned from many wonderful stitching books. I have always dreamed about taking an embroidery course in the UK.

Thanks for noticing my pulled thread work. That particular piece had very little planning or thought. I just drew a rough sketch, then started adding stuff. I never expected it would attract much attention. Your small crazy quilt type pieces are so cheerful and delicious.
Judy, thanks for your comment. In Provence, the tradition of this style of fabric is old, and the bowl is for the room of my grand -daughter; it's yellow...............and I have made a chair like this. Soon in photo!
Hi Judy,
You could try "www,temarikai.com" ;look for "thingsjapanese" on the top tool bar; then
choose"yubinuki" where they are simple instructions in English.
Hope that helps;if not get back to me.

Hi Judy,
Thank you for your kind comments.
Apart from the book ,I am not aware of any tutorials. The book is very good ,I think.
Try Amazon. Michiko
