Today is the official World Embroidery Day. It was set up July 30, 2011 by a Swedish Embroiderer’s Guild and since then has spread swiftly around the globe.
I didn't do any embroidery until around 2007/2008. I can't exactly remember when I sat down with needle and floss for the first time to embroidery on a crazy quilt piece. All I do know is, I learned to love it. My maternal grandmother did a little bit of embroidery on pillowcases from back in the day. But her greatest 2 loves were crocheting and quilting. I wish I knew how many things she actually made over the course of her lifetime of 94 years.
I will share a few photos of some of my embroidery. The first pic and the closeups that follow are of a piece I made my granddaughter Allie for her 8th birthday in 2011. It is still my best piece so far. Some of the smaller blocks in the pics were a round robin where someone else made the block and I did the embellishing with embroidery, beads..etc... The button tree block was made for my friend Amanda. It was part of a full block exchange. She stitched and embellished me a piece and I did the same for her.
I am not as skilled as some but my work will hold it's own. I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Not only do you embroider your crazy quilts, but you embellish them as well. I love he variety of stitches and embellishments you employ.
Online Embroidery Digitizing is interesting.
Thank you for the nice complement. I can get lost when doing this type work and never know when to stop adding.
This isnt digitized. I did all the work by hand with needle and thread.
