Seriously, please cheer 'hooray' for my girl. She has spent two years making this embroidery hoop which she received as a Christmas present. Isn't it amazing?
She really wanted to learn all of the new stitches: french knots, lazy daisy stitch, chain stitch, star stitch, stem stitch and those little buttonhole stitches in the bottom left hand corner. The only part I did was most of the stem stitch swirls to get her motivated to decorate them. She is 12 and I am so proud of her endeavour. The kit is from a French company called Un chat dans l'aiguille. It was given to her by my late dad and his wife, Chantal, who is french. The designs on the website are divine - just look even if you don't want one!
Megan had one too so it is time to teach another girl all of the stitches all over again! I can't think of a better thing to do in lock down can you?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I know many people years older who would not do such a lovely job of it. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHello! I popped over from sustainablemum and am enjoying having a read! Your daughters stitching is gorgeous and brings back memories of teaching my children how to embroider. And I'm completely amazed at your beautifully made underwear!! I can sew well but sewing bras and undies is next level! Go you!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Talent runs in your family.

She is a wee star! But you know that already of course. If only my children were interested in creative crafts... my boys tried to crochet but it is a bit of a drama because both think skills are inherited and not learned.... I hope your toe is less painful today xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous work! Well done. You will never forget your new skills and hopefully will use them many times in the future.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! She has done such an amazing job, what patience. I love the design too I will have a look on the link. A big cheer for her from me. x
ReplyDeleteLovely - and those skills will stay with her all her life. I still remember being taught embroidery and the fantastic feeling of a whole new world opening up. Off to visit that website!
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery is beautifully done -irrespective of age. Your daughter has created something lovely to be proud of. I hope she enjoyed doing it and is encouraged to keep on making lovely things. Pretty things lift our hearts, what is more useful than that? Especially at times like these. I hope she has fun with stitching, it's something I love to do too.
ReplyDeleteThe project is brilliant, your darling daughter is brilliant and so are you my friend.
