Learning the Stitches

I’m getting ready for the stitchalong with the Count My Blessings Project, gathering supplies I already have and deciding what I might need to purchase. I’m not really sure what kind of fabric to get…or if the cross stitch type of fabric would make things easier…hmm…decisions decisions.

In addition, I also started looking around online for a beginner’s guide, just to learn the basic stitches and found a really great site on Hand Embroidery. It looks like I will be able to go through all the basic stitches and other stitch families, learning them one by one. The site is nicely organized with clear photos showing you how to do the stitch. Pretty darn cool to have so many resources online…this will definitely be a great learning experience. I can’t wait to get started…but need to get that fabric…
