More from our library . . . Sometimes our shelves surprise us with a book we had no idea we had and have a hard time guessing how we got it. The move unearthed a few of these treasures and it was really a pleasure to look through them.

This scrapbook was one of those finds, filled with samples of chain stitch embroidery designs. Though the designs are sweet, the real inspiration for me is the book itself.

Oh, Lovely Embroidery samples!
Those old scrapbooks are fun finds!
I want to learn how to embroidery.
Especially cute faces. Do you have
any book recomendations?
This is that site that has daily tutorials.
They feature Martha Stewart website a lot.

That is wear I got the link to the reversible
purse. Click Flassie if you'd like to see a
couple of them I've made. I've made more and
plan to make my daughter and I one too. They
are fun to make.
God Bless You and Yours, Martha Stewart and
Your Creative Beautiful Lives!!!

I have kept all my cross-stitching and now I know what to do with them. Create a scrapbook for them. Great idea!
