Evening Embroidery
I've tackled a new project lately. The embroidery kit I found at the thrift store has become my favourite evening project to work on. I have never embroidered a tablecloth before but have been enjoying the simple stitches and bright floss colours.

I love doing handiwork in front of the TV at night. I love your tablecloth - the design is really pretty and the stitches so even!
beautiful work, it will look amazing when finished, the question is, will you dare to use it!?
Beautiful stichery! It´s so exciting to see the pattern show up on the fabric. I love stichery!
This is beautiful. I have some tablecloths to embroider, looking forward to getting them out now
it's beautiful, katherine! and a much better choice than hand stitching a quilt during the hot summer months.
oh how lovely!! truly beautiful! my great grandmothers did a lot of embroidery and I have a couple things of theirs that I treasure. I learned as a child but haven't done much lately. This makes me want to start a project!
Sweet embroidery on a baby's clothes? too lovely :o)
It's been years since I've done any embroidery.
It's going to be beautiful once you've finished. You're satin stitches are so even, I'm envious.
This embroidery is so pretty. Please show more as you finish.
Oh wow! So very lovely! What a labor of love.
So pretty Katherine! That is going to be gorgeous! I just bought an apron that has an embroidery pattern on it. Maybe I'll have to give it a try!
Your tablecloth is beautiful! You do wonderfull embroidery work. I forgot how much I used to love to embroider. This makes me want to get back into it again. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Katherine,
You brought back memories for me! I was taught to embroider when I was 10 years old by a dear neighbour lady. I still have the emboroidery roll with all the different flosses inside that she gave me.
Your stitching is so beautiful!!
I can't wait to see it! It's so lovely already. :) I like to do counted cross stitch. It's so peaceful to me. I haven't worked on something in awhile, I should get on that! Yet again, you've inspired me! :)
so gorgeous!
