Welcome to Litsy!

Quick and informative book on embroidery, including a wide variety of historical styles. There didn‘t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to the different styles described (one of the contributors‘ bios has a lot about her being a sashiko expert but there‘s no sashiko?) and I think many of them could have used more description, but I really liked being introduced to some styles I‘d never heard of. With modifications, I may try some of the projects.

Finally finished my runner today in embroidery. #LitsyCrafters @Catsandbooks

When I read, I tend to either read fantasy or historical fiction. I noticed that in my historical reads, a lot of women were doing embrodiery, so I've decided to start learning. Over the last week I have learned embrodiery stitches and today I stitched my first design. I am proud of myself!
