Peace, hope, love

I sure do LOVE embroidery. Like when I am hand quilting, I feel so at PEACE when I am doing it. I sure HOPE I have a chance to do some more this weekend. Work has been kicking my butt this week, and today is shaping up to be a train wreck. I could sure use some down time. Have a great weekend, everyone!

My First Embroidery

I had to work all weekend, but I managed to steal moments here and there to work on my first embroidery project. You know, all of you who said I should try it, you were right! It is wonderful fun! Here's my first block, something I've seen lots of other people working on lately, a block from the Gail Pan Christmas Wish BOM. I will definitely be making more. I learned three stitches with varying degrees of success: backstitch, lazy daisy and french knot.
