Today I have two reader’s embroideries to share with you.
Mimi is from Hong Kong and has recently been enjoying Mountmellick embroidery. Following is her first piece of Mountmellick embroidery – it is the framed flower spray from our book Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature. I think her embroidery looks very beautiful and she has done a wonderful job!
Joan K from Sydney, Australia has recently purchased a copy of Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska and has been teaching herself merezhka. Joan has only recently branched out from cross stitch, after enjoying it alone for 40 years. She has taught herself both the large scale and small scale merezhka methods from the book. Joan commented, “Your merezhka instructions and illustrations are really clear and easy to follow.”
From the results of Joan’s bookmark, you can see that she’s done a sterling job! The bookmark is one of the projects included in the book. The cloth on which the book and bookmark are photographed is one of Joan’s past cross stitch projects.
Thank you to both Mimi and Joan for sharing your successes with me, so that I can share them with others!
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
That is quite inspiring indeed. I already have these books because I thought the projects were so lovely and some nice new techniques to learn.
I will definitely have to put these on my list of projects to do 🙂

Well Pierrette, I look forward to one day posting one of your successes here too! 🙂
