An exciting parcel arrived here late last week, from Luzine Happel. It contained the fabric, thread, needles and thorough instructions for me to test drive Luzine’s left-handed Schwalm embroidery instructions.
This is going to be an interesting project, and I am really looking forward to getting into it. I am thinking that the best way to tackle it is to devote a little time each day to working on it. Otherwise it will get continually pushed aside by my work and other commitments, which I don’t want it to do!
It is a very pretty design. So far I have read through the first part of the instructions (which are extremely thorough!), and now am at the point where I need to put needle and thread to fabric. What fun!
For those who have emailed me to volunteer for my embroidery stitch dictionary app focus group, thank you very much! I am very grateful that you are willing to be involved with this project!

My package arrived as well. Just beginning the coral stitch. It is a new stitch for me.

Yes, I’m just starting the coral knot stitch as well, though it isn’t new to me. 🙂
