When I was eleven my favorite pair of pants were light blue,
hip huggers with embroidery on the leg and back yoke. I was captivated the
moment I saw the colorful, asymmetrical, perfectly placed embroidery. I felt so
confident in those pants! I’m smiling at the memory…
A current check of my closet suggests I still enjoy
embroidered items. Several tops and a marvelous robe are decorated with thread
and stitch. It leads me to wonder why I’ve never tried embroidering something
myself. With regard to embroidery, I guess I’m a consumer rather than a
creator.
Well, now I have the opportunity! I have no idea where to
start. As one who avidly avoids hand work,
I don’t know any stitches other than basting and binding. This will definitely
be a stretch for me, I’m looking forward to seeing where it leads.
