I did quite a few pieces in my 20's and 30's, haven't got the eyesight for it, now though.

Nice job, Sana! That is great that your class is keeping clubs.
Thank you! It must be hard to keep the stitch clean and neat from the back too! Must be! I'll start trying to keep my stitches clean from the back too.

He said he was sure no one would take his scarf by mistake once they saw the purple embroidery!

Lady's Other Human (my brother's wife) does a lot of cross stitch embroidery, I'll tell her she should post a couple! She is more patient with it than I am, by far!
thank you! I really want to learn Daisy Stitch and the French knot. It sounds like an awesome stitch!
I searched French Knot up on google, seems like a GREAT knot to me!
AND Daisy stitch is soo cute! Seriously, a lovely one!
There also some videos of how to do the stitch and I might learn it from those video clips

We have 3 teachers and one of them's mother did embroidery on a piece of cloth and it was sooooo NEAT!!! You wouldn't be able to know where was the front and where was the back. And I might start learning how to keep my stitches clean and neat from the back too
