Sewing project.






We have excitement here! Whitney had her baby boy (Dr. Phil & Ken's daughter.)
Last week Sue came over to get us started on our winter sewing project, Swedish Embroidery. It is fun. Billie, here at the park, has done over 40 afghans.
Sue and Billie have been great teachers.

Swedish Weaving
Swedish Weaving is also called "Huck Embroidery," named after the cloth used to create this easy to learn and quick to stitch technique.

Similar in concept to "couching," the embroidery threads are woven through loops on the surface of the fabric, which hold the threads in place and create the unique patterns.
