Here are the pictures from the projects I did in "Needlework Skills Book:1 A Handsewing Primer by Rebekah Wilson".

 

Lesson 1: 12 Handsewing Stitches - Stitch Sampler

 

Lesson 2: 17 Embroidery Stitches - Embroidery Pattern

Lesson 3: Gingham Embroidery - Tea/Breadcloth (Top left corner shown. I put Snowflake stitches in all the corners and I did running stitches all the way around. I stitched my name and the year in the top left corner. I will probably be adding more rows of stitches later on.)

Lesson 4: Basic Crochet Stitches - Potholder

Lesson 5: Crocheted Dishcloths Patterns - There are a total of 3 patterns. I did the shell dishcloth.

 

Lesson 6: Quilted Table Runner

Lesson 7: I am working on a baby bib that is embroidered and quilted with a crocheted edging. The last lesson is hardanger and the project is a pincusion.

P.S. Please pray for us from a loss of our puppy, Luther. He came to our house about 3 months ago and he ate everything. We think he might of died because he ate some poison or some animal that was sick. He died either the night of the 16th or the morning of the 17th (of August).

 

Happy Sewing!

Last year for my 11th birthday I got "Needlework Skills Book:1 A Handsewing Primer by Rebekah Wilson. This is a great book for you if you want to learn how to hand sew and embroider (and crochet!). There are 8 lessons and each lesson has a project that reviews what you just learned. Right now I'm on lesson 7.   I have pictures of the projects but I'll have to find them in our files. Please visit her website.

 

Happy Sewing!

We got an embroidery/sewing machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got it Friday. I have been wanting one for sooooooooooooo long. It has 100 patterns on it and comes with free lessons and some discounts along with the lessons. So far I have made the letter "J", Goofy, Minnie Mouse, Sally (from the movie Cars), a butterfly, Ham (from the movie Toy Story), and the word "Mom". It is awsome!
