before I was a quilter and designer I was an embroiderer…ribbon, wool, crewel, bullion, hardanger, whitework, candlewicking  - anything I could cram into my spare minutes! I even had a little business teaching and designing wonderful intricate projects… I have found myself recently referring back to my embroidery days for inspiration and a need to expand and challenge boundaries from the simple backstitch .

I am thinking/hoping that many of you also are ready to move to the next step and would also love to experiment with a few more stitches or just stitch a little more involved projects – not too hard, just one step at a time..

here are a few peeks of some projects coming up for the Inspired Stitches weekend in Adelaide in July and a new pattern or two.

hope they get your creative juices flowing.

hugs and happy stitching
