For awhile now, I’ve been following this wonderful account on Instagram, and wow! The eye candy is amazing!
Her name is Mary Corbet and her website is needlenthread.com.
There is so much stuff over there for you to browse through if you love embroidery like I do.
She has eBooks to download, instructions and tutorials for all sorts of embroidery stitches, lots of inspiration, tips, and gorgeous photography. Please go have a look — if you’re doing the embroidered version of the Vintage Christmas Ornaments Quilt-Along, it might give you some more stitch ideas to use on your ornaments!
I’m putting a link to this site in the sidebar, too, so it will always be easy to find.
I had plans to post the intro for the World War II-inspired Quilt-Along today, but that was before I ran over My Cowboy with my truck (yes, you read that right), and forgot to order one piece of fabric I needed for my sample quilt, so . . . I’ve been waiting on a piece of fabric to arrive, and nursing a man on crutches, all while taking care of the entire farm and everything else around here all by myself because he can’t walk! I promise we’ll get it kicked off next week — I’m so excited for this one!
Edited to add . . .
In the comments, reader Karrin also suggested Sharon Boggan’s Pintangle web site as another great resource. I’ve loved Sharon’s work for years, but I’ve always equated it more with Crazy Quilting than embroidery — however, it’s a fabulous resource for embroidery, so I hope you check it out as well. She has a LOT of stuff to read and learn about over there — prepare to get lost for awhile! I’ll add it to the sidebar for easy access, too.
There is another stitch resource too. Sharon Boggan has a Stitch Dictionary too here: https://pintangle.com/stitch-dictionary/. She has been putting on stitch-alongs in the form of Take a Stitch Tuesday for years. Every Tuesday she introduces a new stitch. There is a Facebook Group, and you can get on herm mailing list and have the stitch of the week mailed to you. I have done it several times. I am also a crazy quilter, and have followed Sharon Boggan and have taken several online classes. I love embroidery, and crazy quilting, primitive stitching…
You caught my interest with the World War II quilt.
