Vintage Crafty Saturdays – Vintage Embroidery Stitches and Christmas Project Progress
21 Nov
Ohhh…I am so slow at embroidery!! I have been working on Christmas projects and I just haven’t be going as fast as I would like. Ah well. I will have to revamp my plan to give everyone a set of Day of the Week Towels. 
But the Matador that I have been working on has been really fun, so at least I am enjoying myself. And learning some new stitches, too! I am doing some stuff I haven’t done before, and it is interesting to see how things are turning out. I just hope no one is expecting a neatly done present.
Anyway, here are some stitches I have been looking at this week from Sewing Book 2 by Ruth Wyeth Spears. She has so many stitches in this book that there is no way I will ever be able to learn them all. But it is fun to try them out. Especially since I can’t seem to get the hang of French Knots and I am looking for an alternative.
If you want to see a close-up, just click on the picture. Enjoy!
It’s all wrinkley and not finished, but I still think it looks pretty good!!

RUTH!!! That is seriously awesome! I love that bullfighter, whoever gets that set will be VERY lucky!!! Like you said, I hope they appreciate all of your hard work – but I’m sure they will.
God, that IS good work, Ruth! I tried embroidery once but wasn’t patient enough to start a project. Holding a needle made me want to scream and pull my hair out, LOL!
Fabulous job! Since crafty stuff is my “other life” (www.frequentlywrongbutneverindoubt.com ) – I really can say that with feeling. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Thanks, guys!!! I have been working really hard on it, so it is nice to hear that it looks good. I am excited to finish the set, I think they will look really good together!
Your matador is looking awesome!
