What was your inspiration?

I had purchase the embroidery pattern, awhile ago. Then one night my hands just needed something to do. So I started the emboridery, but didn't have anything in mind. It just kind of all came together.

What are you most proud of?

This was my first attempt at some new embroidery stitches. Not perfect, but not too bad either.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

A great project to do while watching tv. Especially since almost everything is a rerun for the summer time.

This is right up my alley ... thanks for the inspiration. I love to machine emboidery and machine quilt, plus I love to hand embroidery alot. I think since I machine quilt the hand embroidery will add a personal touch to each item I do, even if it is just a square anywhere in the piece. I love the idea.
