Adventures in Embroidery: 1

 
I have done bits of embroidery here and there: small bits on other projects and cross stitches. But, I have never really dove in.  I decided a few months back that I was going to pick it up and add to my list of hobbies. I bought Embroidered Effects and went for it. I used one of the fantastic heat transfer patterns from the book and attempted my frist sampler. 

I feel like it turned out really well.  Alot of the stitches I already knew, some I learned new variations of, and some I tried for the frist time.  It was alot of fun.  I have two more embroidery projects in the works...So stay tuned for more Adventures in Embroidery:~)
