Learning Embroidery

I had the great pleasure last Saturday afternoon, to sit across the table from a great woman. Shaun's grandmother sat me down and taught me how to embroider on a tea towel! She picked out a lovely set of transfers that depict fruit correlating with the day of the week. I chose a cherry pattern (of course!) to start off with. We sat for a few hours discussing everything from clothing to childhood memories. I really enjoyed the afternoon and was a bit sad to leave.

I finally finished the pattern today! I'm sure with some more practice I will do better, but for my first attempt, I think I did quite well!
