Hello there, I mostly just “lurk” around here, but I really wanted to just pop in and say THANK YOU. I think you have an amazing blog and I truly appreciate all of the work you put into it.
Sarah,
I just found your wonderful website through Pinterest. I love it! Thank you for the beautiful, clear instructions and photos…much appreciated!
Hi Sarah,
I’m ‘new’ to embroidery having dabbled a little as a girl. I recently dug out a magazine series on needle craft from the 90′a which piqued my interest.
Thanks to your amazing pictorial & written tutorials I think I might just be about to get serious about the craft. I realise that what I thought was relatively cool was only just the basics.
I can’t wait to get going properly, the only thing now is going to be finding patterns. They seem to have gone out of fashion & are no longer readily available!
By the way, I found your site through a Facebook embroidery page…
Many thanks,
Polly
