Apparently February is National Embroidery Month! I have no idea who decides these things, but I love embroidery in many forms, so I thought it would be fun to post a couple of my favourite embroidery projects this month.
One of my favourite projects over the past year has been embroidered tea towels using a Stitcher's Revolution pattern. These are my 4 finished towels from last year.
What are you hand stitching today? Do you have an embroidery project that you can share with us this month? Link up your blog or instagram post below and show us what you are stitching.
How nice to have a month dedicated to National Embroidery Month. You have embroidered some lovely projects over the last year, Kathy. I love the "Be Grateful" one you are working on at the moment. No embroidery here, just hand piecing and hand quilting. I must find me some embroidery to delight my days.
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery is lovely and I will be working on mine today along with knitting my second sock. How nice to have a month dedicated to embroidery. Have a peaceful Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery projects are very pretty. I have a project that has been sitting half done for years. I am hoping to get back to it sometime in the future, but I have so many cross-stitch projects to complete first. I may try to root around and find it again. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteLovely towels and pretty project. I am cross-stitching and this is also helping me beeing sane along the Pandemic. Have fun celebrating the National Embroidery Month and happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteYour towels are so darling! My mother made two sets of tea towels, for the days of the week. I treasure them!!!
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same! Who decides its national embroidery month? Still I'm not complaining it's fun to have something I enjoy so much have a month dedicated to it LOL. those tea towels are great fun. Take care.
ReplyDeleteLove your "Be Greatful" dish towel!
ReplyDeleteI swear I need to find a place where every day is listed of all these "national" days - I never know when any of them are. Love the quilt on your header and all your embroidery
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for the same, only two people I know have had covid and neither was a serious case. We are waiting for our turn on the list for vaccines, and will be very happy when we can get it.
ReplyDeleteYour current embroidery project is a good reminder for all of us. My daughter’s coffee pot embroidery is a stitch along for embroidery month. I hope my cross stitch counts for the celebration!
ReplyDeleteMy husband commented that he doesn't know anyone better suited for lockdown than me. I replied all my stitching friends are also perfectly suited. We are never bored! Mind you, I would be very happy to see my family again!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those towels!! I have been stitching sooo much since March. I haven't been able to open my studio - so no teaching. Today is the super bowl and I will be hand quilting. Stitching everyday has really been a life saver during this time.
ReplyDeleteI need to get with the embroidery projects then if this is the month! Your towels are lovely Kathy as is all of your work! I admire you for doing Bonnie Hunter's each year. Just not my bag, but you always come up with some beauties.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday! Hugs
I love that February is Embroidery month... who knew? Pretty projects you have there!
ReplyDeleteI always love updates on your embroidered towels!
ReplyDeleteYour tea towels have such fun designs! Love the new one, too! Enjoy your embroidery today, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteSo my question is, Do you actually use the tea towels or are they just for decoration? I have been given several by a friend, but I'm reluctant to use them, so they sit in a drawer. The Covid numbers are going down here, as well, but I fear there will be another surge after all the Super Bowl parties that people say they just can't not go to. With vaccine supplies so limited it will be months before the vaccine can make any difference. oh, well, more time to quilt and I don't lack for fabric.

That is one I haven't done yet, Be Grateful! I love embroidery in all forms too! Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteYes, isn't it wonderful to have these hobbies involving needles and threads. Have I said already how much I like that piece in your heading?
ReplyDeleteI love these kitchen towels. Beautiful stitching! I have been to the link several times. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe embroidered tea towels are such a delight! So clever. And your embroidery is gorgeous.
