Beautifully done and gives information I'm always looking for

I've been embroidering since HS when doing the entire back of a denim work shirt was in fashion. That said, I have not worked at the level of Melissa Galbraith and that is something to aspire to. I love having her book as a reference and the inspiring color project photos along with details on the stitches is perfect. I have kept only a couple embroidery books over the years. Most don't focus on the stitches well, this book does and I'm thrilled to have it on my bookshelf.

  • While at @hhamericas trade show last week, I wrapped up my busy days with a little night time stitching. I’ve been envisioning some sort of pressed pennies pattern for a while now and I sketched these out just before heading to the airport for my trip.⁠ ⁠ I’m thinking these will be a new stick and stitch pattern pack. What do you think?⁠ ⁠ #handembroidery #wip #pressedpennies #stitching #mcreativej
