I was told at an EGA national seminar years ago that I would probably never be able to to Japanese embroidery, that it was too detailed and difficult. Guess no one ever told you that....I'm so glad that no one ever did! You are amazing and your work is absolutely wonderful. I haven't had much time recently to catch up on my blogs but I always look at yours!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987178371117192422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-68936070758093757332009-01-14T17:23:00.000-05:002009-01-14T17:23:00.000-05:00I'd never make it with Japanese embroidery!

You and your friend Angela are the subjects of that post! I live in VA and I am just getting involved in Bead Embroidery. I have just posted my first project on my blog. I have also just read your post and seen your pictures of Returning Home. What an amazing written tribute to your Mom!! The piece is beautiful as well, but the love for your Mom that comes through in your words outshines the art- the love shines through it , I should say!!<BR/>I also love what you have done with the pants for your niece!! Now if I only had a nice little bottom and beautiful legs like hers.... SIGH!! I might just have to do a new pair for myself anyway!!!<BR/>Love the photos of all of your neices and son at tea- Jack is a real trooper!! Great to MEET you!<BR/>Hugs!<BR/>ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861364748418692061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-18785163530139057272009-01-14T08:07:00.000-05:002009-01-14T08:07:00.000-05:00Your embroidery is incredibly beautiful!!Your embroidery is incredibly beautiful!!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999711983585051357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-70803029320778345972009-01-14T06:35:00.000-05:002009-01-14T06:35:00.000-05:00Welcome back, Gracie, it is so nice to have you ba...Welcome back, Gracie, it is so nice to have you back where you belong :)<BR/><BR/>She's looking swell, Susan.<BR/><BR/>It was Gracie who lead me to your blog, when I was first searching out fellow Japanese Embroiderers. I am grateful to her for that.<BR/><BR/>I love the colours you have chosen. Thank you for pointing out the tufting on the under garment, I had never noticed that before.<BR/><BR/>Welcome back to JE Susan, I hope you find some solace in your work.<BR/><BR/>CAcoral-seashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876196936807771078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-38210232279688755332009-01-13T22:42:00.000-05:002009-01-13T22:42:00.000-05:00Just gorgeous embroidery work on Gracie!

It's a much more wearable look. I may try opening mine from the inside seam so that I can do continuous design over the outside seam. Maybe there's some point to the seam choice that I don't get yet.Barbara Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068430978341114058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-30166857682550860002009-01-13T18:52:00.000-05:002009-01-13T18:52:00.000-05:00Your Japanese embroidery is beautiful!Your Japanese embroidery is beautiful!Vicki Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929340703066037054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-66298987072334053792009-01-13T14:55:00.000-05:002009-01-13T14:55:00.000-05:00Gracie is just beautiful, Susan.

Have you ever seen the long jeans skirt where you open up the inner seam and add fabric to that spot, in a upsidedown V?Judy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591607125583963544noreply@blogger.com
