Thank you for your kind offer, Wagonwife. I just completed an on-line embroidery class, and I finally feel I have the courage to try stitches beyond the stem, backstitch and French knot. I hope to spread my wings and take baby steps into unfamiliar terrain. (No problem understanding your reply.)

Simply stunning! I am just starting to embroider, but can tell it will be a long time before I come near your level of skill.

"Short Stuff" May of the the individual items are easier than you think. If you would like to learn a technique let me know I will be happy to help you and break down the steps with pictures. Just start and do not be afraid to attempt the different embroidery pieces. We are start somewhere and it will just keep building from there. Good luck and thanks for the kind comment..
