New Embroidery Book


Hello from a very sunny Holland! Last week we have been spoiled with quite nice weather, so I spend a lot of time outside.

Indoors I’ve been looking at this amazing book I  bought at a craft fair last week.

It is written in French,  but all the charts are so clear that that is not a problem at all. In this book the embroidery is all about haberdashery and the pictures are beautiful.

Of course I had to try a little embroidery myself. So I assembled a collection of designs from the book into this.

This little piece measures only 14x9 cm (5.5x3.5 inch) and was a lot of fun to do. I’m not completely sure, but I think I’m going to use this for an armchair caddy, using the tutorial by Hugs from Helen.


Groetjes, Dorien
