Embroidery with Mom

My mom came over today during nap time and taught me some fun stitches. She is the master of beautiful pillow case embroidery, among many other wonderful projects. I'm so glad she came over because even the simplest stitches I improved by leaps and bounds in my attempts of making them look good. Yay! :)

...but even with a bad picture her stitching is still WAY better than mine. 


Here is what I did:

some of it definitely needs more work, but I think I didn't do too bad. 


I'm hoping to get some good practice and ideas for embroidering a little Summersville for my key fob for the RATZ Swap! :)

now to decide on which square to use. All of the designs are so wonderful! :)
