truly sublime
So in my capacity as Teen Services Librarian, I thought it would be fun to begin an embroidery club. But I had to learn myself! For years, I have wanted to learn to embroider and have looked at many, many how-to books and blogs and felt, frankly, uninspired and still fearing the needle. Until now. Jenny Hart’s book is absolutely heaven sent. The instructions for beginners are very easy to follow and the patterns are amazing! I just completed my sexy librarian embroidery and am working on some cat patterns and pinups. Hart’s books have great patterns … defiinitely hip and updated while still possessing the wonder of vintage embroidery. A warning — once you start, you may find it tough to stop. No cotton fabric is safe from my hoop and needle! And, dear friends, expect embroidered gifts by the droves! Kitties for you, Anna. Pinups and Librarians for you, Love … there is something for everyone!
For more info, go to Hart’s webpage: http://sublimestitching.com/
And buy the books … equipped with inspriation, easy how-to in engaging writing, and reusable iron-on patterns!
Have fun …! And good luck trying to stop!
My first piece:
Tea towels are on the list as well as a skirt of mine that needs a little creative love.
