Calidore's Garden Ramblings: Crazy Quilted Postcards Tutorial

You will find a wonderful wonderful tutorial on making a fabric postcard on Catherine of the Garden's Blog It is thorough, good pictures, simple to follow and full of good tips! Is there more you could ask for?

I am working on the Chain Stitch practice piece(see below several entries down)and getting ready to start a small project for the beginner list -

Learn To Embroider

this is not really a Learn to CQ list, or Learn to do this or that, it really is what is sounds like...Learn to Embroider...basic stitches, threads, fabrics etc etc....and there will of course be stuff about particulars -------gggggg...if i know any or any of the members know something particular to teach....although if you are that good in any one technique, LTE might be pretty basic....the sister list,

Stitching Post

might be a better place.

Check them out and join if you are interested...the more the merrier, and of course you know you are welcome!

08 01 06 Stumpwork in the Stitching Post Group(old post)

Celeste Chalasani of

the Stitching Post

has graciously and energetically created a beginner project in stumpwork for the group. She has posted the first lesson, which is the suppllies list and the diagrams for the background embroidery and the detached slips. Because this project is Celeste's own creation just for the Stitching Post, she is making available only to us! That means that it won;t be posted on the blog for the group, only pictures of the completed projects. If there is anyone at all interested in learning this age old and beautiful technique with a short and small piece, this is is the time. It is suitable for beginners to embroidery, and beginners to stumpwork! Please consider joining the group(all group guidelines apply) and taking part in this wonderful oppportunity!
