So today and every week for a few weeks, Nicole will walk us through some embroidery basics. Which, for me, is perfect timing since I've recently discovered my love of embroidery!
Many thanks to Nicole, and be sure to visit her fabulous blog, Follow the White Bunny, for lots more inspiration!
Happy stitching everyone!
Embroidery is a lovely way to embellish your fabrics, clothes or even paper and shower curtains as Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching shows in her latest book Embroidered Effects. Equally important, it is great fun to do and can be almost therapeutic (really!). Modern and hip embroidery is on the rise and there are many awesome patterns out there, so you don’t have to be stuck with boring old-fashioned patterns, unless you want to of course … ;)
I started to embroider a couple of years ago but I still feel very much like an embroidery newbie. There are many different types of embroidery (blackwork, redwork, crewel to name a few) and many stitches to learn . So much so that it may all seem a bit overwhelming for the aspiring embroiderer. So let me take you by the hand and get you started on this wonderful craft! I will just show you the way I would explain it to you as if you were sitting next to me on the couch. It will be by no means extensive or complete, just enough friendly advice to help you on your way. ☺
Next week I will discuss which materials you need (or which ones are handy) to get started

Yay Nicole!
How fun! I have been wanting to try some embroidery - I look forward to the lessons!
I've started some embroidery over the last few months but am still very much a novice. Looking forward to your posts. :)
Thanks ladies! I will only cover the essentials here but I hope it will be helpful anyway! Also, please let me know if you have any embroidery questions. I'm happy to help out. :)
