Ancient and Primitive Embroidery

The other day I was listening to Craft Sanity and Kristin Nicholas was being interviewed. The topic was embroidary. As I listened, I recalled that once upon a time back in the dark ages (the early 70's) in college, I used to try to embroider.I then remembered that I had tucked away in a back closet a blue jean jacket I had embroidered for my husband. (At the time we were dating.)
Cuff wear and tear - ugh!


And now for the creative piece of art - RIGHT! Notice the various stitches - chain stitch, chain stitch and some more chain stitch. At the time I thought it was cool and much larger than it really is.



Sewing update:
I have been working on a small quilted table topper. I machined stitched the pieces together but hand sewing the quilting.




I am also participating in the Sassy Spring Apron swap. I am mailing it in the morning. And as usual, I wish I had made one like this for me. Oh, well....




Mary Ann - as soon as I can find a small box, your "sweet" gift will be mailed. Hope you'll like it. :)
