Hi Sally
Embroidery is easy when it is interesting to you – if you have no interest, then it is hard. : ) I really commend your desire to pass on your mothers work to your kids – hope you will also find it easy and do a very good job.

Thinking I was ready, 1,2,3 start, I read your article about embroidery. My challenge is a quilt with all 50 States: Birds and Flowers. This was left to me by my Mother. I have know idea it is or where she bought it. My plan is to make two quilts, one for each daughter and one for our son. Right now, I feel as though I’m in Graduate school researching. Your information, I found accidentally by looking up embroidery thread. I have bookmarked pages of importance to my learning about embroidery. My Mother made this art look so easy. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of embroidery.

Hi. Your instructions for the spider web rose are incorrect. It says to make 8 spokes as in the photo but there are actually 9. You need an odd number of spokes or you end up going under and over in the same places all the time. An odd number makes it vary so where you went under, as you come back around, now you go over. Great list of floral techniques. I’m bookmarking!

Hello, I’m from England and I love your posts. I think the ‘rose war’ you remember is the Wars of the Roses, fought for the throne of England between the Houses of York and Lancaster in the 1400s. They were so called because the Lancastrians’ emblem was a red rose and the Yorkists’ was a white one. This marathon series of civil wars started in 1455 and went on for 32 years, ending when the Lancastrian Henry Tudor defeated the reigning Yorkist king, Richard III, and became King Henry VII.

I hope I’m not boring you, but I live in an ancient town which still shows some of the scars from these wars in its buildings. We still have a well-preserved green space in the town centre where a church was destroyed by the Lancastrians – and has never been rebuilt!
