Well ,my goodness,Thankyou Cathy ! I try to be supportive of any one new to ME.I know how frustrating it can be at times.Lets just say I know when to walk away from it now,LOL.I have more than a few errors in my box,LOL.
Yes I do hand embroidery as well.I am currently working on a cat lap quilt with 6 cats on it.I have 5 done and part of the border.I have been working on it since February,but I only put a few rows on at a time and when it gets to be too much I put it down for a bit.I am one who cannot just sit and do nothing so I work on it at night in front of the TV.When I get it done I will post it on the site so all can see,but at the rate I am going it may be a while yet !
I know what you mean about ME,as that is why I really got into it as well.It is almost effortless for someone like us. I have lost a lot of my motor skills and I sometimes have a hard time with the threads as I have lost feeling in my hands as well. I did that too ,ignored it but unfortunatly it does not go away.I found out in 2000 that I not only have rheumatoid arthritis but a disease called spondolitis as well .Both are degenerative and they gave me 5 years before I would be in a chair full time. So far I have proved them wrong with that prediction,but with the degenerative disk disease I could wake up one morning and not have movement. So I live each day to the fullest! I do what I can when I can,I am not ready to give into it yet !
I am going to try some of the 3-D butterflies as I bought a bag yesterday that is just screaming for them LOL.So when I get it done I will post as well.
I am so glad I could be of some help to you and hope I can help you any way I can.I have been keeping up with all the blogs and you gals are so courageous ! I love them all so far,and have even picked up a few tips from folks my self. One thing you will find in this wonderful world of embroidery,is that we all try to help each other when ever we can,and we all have the same love of the art.My husband always knows where to find me on any day !You never quit learning with this ,and it is always something new and exciting ! The sense of accomplishment is just unreal !
So again,Thankyou so much for your kind words,but really I really never do win anything LOL! I could be the only one with a lotto ticket and still lose,LOL.It is simply uncanny ! But you know, I have never let that stuff bother me ever.I am so excited for any one who wins,probably as much or more if I had won myself.She deserved to win ,she did a wonderful job on it,as did all the ladies ! I love seeing what everyone did with them !
If I can help you in any way please let me know,I will help if I can !
Hugs From Florida !
