So, thanks to Sylvanna and Jenny Hart I am now officially an embroidery addict rather than a "oh-that-is-so-pretty-I-could-never-do-that" person.  Here are my first two projects.  I did the sampler from "Embroidery Effects" and then the sparrows from her craft notebook.  I am loving the transfers!


Please pardon the crappy night pics and the wrinkly sparrows napkin.  I was so excited to post that I didn't iron it yet Smiley





I'd love to hear what you think Smiley

I love it!!!  Very nice job!  I have just recently picked it up again (after like 10+ years) and am finding I also am an addict.  Can't wait to see more embroidery posts from you in the future!

Thank you all so much.  I'm really excited to do more work. I can see areas that I need more practice, but I'm new so I can only get better Smiley  I work at Bed Bath and Beyond, so now I keep an eye out for fabric napkins, placemats, aprons, pillow cases.....everythin g to go on clearance!

NH822, yay for you getting back into it! I'd love to see some of your work.
