I seem to have joined into this slow stitching challenge on YouTube from the Roxy Creation channel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiYYfbQbgPg&list=PLjZ7ebk-py28hyS6YEnqRIgmRW-Ji_6TXThis lasts six months and involves making a book. Most people are using the cover of an old book but cutting up old books doesn't sit well with me and so I'm going to use a piece of thick card that came with my calendar and make my own cover.
To start, we were taught 20 stitches. I haven't done any embroidery since I was a child and so many of these were new to me but wouldn't be to you if you're an embroiderer. Here are my first ten:-
Each month, there is a prompt for background and embellishment. This month, it is vintage lace and a rabbit. I haven't done much stitching on it yet, but have done the background and the rabbit.
Both look like they need a good press!
Not too late to join in if you fancy this project.
