My mother embroidered and sewed, my grandmother embroidered and crocheted so I figured I should (really) learn to embroider in addition to all my other crafts.
Learning to embroider would enhance my pillows and quilts. I have been wanting to try a sampler for a while. The ones Kelly has on her website look easier for a beginner to do than others. Good luck to everyone!
