New Ways to Embroider

As an enthusiastic lifelong 70's style embroiderer, I'm finding the modern resurgence of needle arts really exciting. Finally a fresh reason to add to my fabric stash...

  3. They are talented whose works you feature here. I'm an old '70's needle arts type myself--and while there is a need for an update to my sewing machine's empty corner, I will have you know, I too have my own fabric stash!
