Mine too, but they are all lovely. My grandmother sewed, quilted, knit and crocheted, but never did much embroidery, except on the edges of pillowcases. I inherited none of her talents although she did her best to teach me.

About 35 years ago, I was asked to help design a quilt to be raffled off, and to create one of the squares. The theme was "dance". We were raising awareness and funds to promote making midwifery legal in B.C.......The quilt turned out amazing and we made a lot of money raffling it off and selling posters and cards of the quilt. We ended up making a quilt every year for 10 years. They had different themes and became more elaborate every year.

Anyways, after embroidering one of those large squares every year, and a lot of pressure to make it special, I sort of lost my interest in doing embroidery.......Now that I have lots of time, my eyes and hands aren't co-operating for me to get the results I want.........

I wonder how she went about giving some of the shapes that 3-dimensional quality......I tried to find out on line, but couldn't find anything......

I saw your response, and found it interesting, even though it was a totally different topic. Thank you for sharing that with me.
