I go in seasons. Sometimes I'm really into embroider, other times other things, so keep your yarn! lol I need knitted wash cloths! lol haha
But, yeah, I love embroidery it's such mindless work you can do it during almost anything, and it's so portable. And I really love choosing colors for projects, and also the versatility of all the things you can embroider!
I used to really like counted cross stitch but find it very limited on what I can stitch on, so I really love embroider cause it can be on anything!

lol Meagan, if you like Sublime you will love Aimee Ray as well! Very similar styles. Aimee's is more cutesy then Sublime, but same concept of trying new and different things, and making your own drawings into stitching!

| Picked up some canvas shopping bags and a hobo bag at Michale's and Hobby Lobby last week to do some stitching on. Going to do some eco/nature-designs on the shopping bags - you know, "recycle, reuse, repurpose", "save out plantet, it's the only one with chocolate" (loved that one), etc. Thought it was a "subtle" way of getting the word out to everyone I run into. Also picked up some flour sack towels I'm going to get busy on as well (maybe a gift). I have some of my late m-i-l's dish towles that have been around the block a few times and they are still in such good shape. I also think all flour sack towels come hemmed uneven - mine did too. No biggy tho - they'll still stitch up good and dry the dishes no matter what shape they're in. |

I agree Annie, I don't think "flour sack" towels were meant to be perfectly stitched, they began as just re-using cloth that was readily available....I kind of doubt our ancestor grandmothers who began using them to begin with worried about having a perfect hem on them. I think that's just the nature of them. lol
