Today I show you a Mountmellick project that I have taught many times, and also have available as a kit: the Mountmellick Dogrose and Honeysuckle Doily. I give you a tour of all the stitches, talk about the knitted fringe and talk about some of the things that are important in Mountmellick embroidery. If […] After a two month break, I’m finally back with a little update on where things are at with me, where things are at with my book, and about some embroidery products that we love.

I would concur, but I also understand that that’s what some of you have to use, and that’s what fits your budget. Therefore, you need to know that there is a right way and […] Today Yvette shows you a demonstration of reverse chain stitch.
