Donating = Loving

For more than 13 years, I have been pouring an immense amount of time, thought, love, and resources into Sarah’s Hand Embroidery Tutorials. So far, we have provided 470+ lessons—and all of them are free!

It has always been exciting to provide embroidery tutorials for you—and we’ll continue providing it. We have been getting an enormous amount of traffic—up to 2 million hits per month—and it is getting more and more expensive to maintain this website. As you may realize, advertisements are not promoted on the website to keep it simple and user-friendly.

Any contribution from you will keep us motivated and help us maintain this website in the best quality. Also, we use your donations for acquiring supplies for the free hand embroidery workshops that we are conducting for women and their well-being.

If you find this labor of love valuable and joyful, please consider supporting us with a donation of your choosing, between a cup of tea and a good lunch. Your support matters.

    Hello and best wishes!

    I see you have not posted to either website in about a year. I hope you are well and it is because of busy-ness, not sickness. I have admired your site for quite a while. I wish I could donate, but I’m unemployed at the present time.

    I will go to the contribute section, as I have embroidery pictures to share. Hopefully some you can use for your book, unless, of course, it’s already been published.

      Hi Karen,

      Thank you so much for inquiring about us. 🙂 It means a lot. I know this response is coming late. A lot had been happening and it was not possible to keep up actively with the website and its content for a long time. But, we are back now! Thank you for your contributions.

      I hope life is better now and you are enjoying our pages.

      Warm regards,
      Sarah

    Dear Sarah

    I belong to an on-line amateur quilters group called Scquilters and this year is our 20th anniversary. Its a large on-line group (3000) and about 120 of us get together once a year for a long weekend of fun. The idea is to do lots of stitching, but in reality its more of a gab-fest, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. This year I have been asked to show a small group attending this years function how to embroider felt flowers — a bit like work done by Sue Spargo and Wendy Williams. Usually the flowers are embroidered with simple stitches, like blanket stitch, fly stitch, colonial knots, herringbone etc. I wanted to put together a guide for this group because none of them are embroiderers. I came across your amazing stitch dictionary and wondered if you would give me permission to reproduce some of your stitch instructions. I would of course pay for this and acknowlege your work in whatever way you wanted.
    Thank you for your consideration of my request and best wishes

      Hi Denise,
      Thank you for writing to us. I apologise for this grand late reply. 😣 I hope you were able to arrange the guide that was meant for your group, the Scquilters, for the anniversary. Do let us know if you are in need of any embroidery resource in future – I promise to respond to you on time! 2017 was a year when I was laying low in the hand embroidery front and have missed responding to a lot many wonderful readers.

      ❤️

    When I tried to donate I saw a form which said, no of items to be purchased. What do you sell and how do I make payment other than paypal or debit/credit card

    • rocksea says:

      Hi Sherie, at the moment we are not selling anything, the form is just for entering the amount you can donate for the tutorials. Credit card or paypal is the only option available now.
