Stitch Me Up Blog Hop

Monday, March 25, 2013

I had big plans for this hop but ended up with a sewing fail. Having had neck surgery, I thought I would be more healed up than I am. I attempted a project but could not finish. I have learned one thing though, I do not like embroidery. I have stuck myself so much I think I should have had a blood transfusion along the way. Hats off to all of you that have joined the hop and made such wonderful projects. Here is all I was able to do.

  1. Hope you're healing faster and can get back to whatever kind of stitching you love. I'm so disappointed you don't love mebrodry...I simply love it but we all have our niche.

  13. I didn't think I would like embroidery when I started 5 years ago but I have grown to really enjoy it... I still cannot do it as well as most seasoned veterans but I do think it will stand up next to theirs.

    Kudos for you for trying... and I hope you heal soon!

  14. Feel better. Needlework while it looks quite simple is quite involved. Doing it right after having any type of surgery, especially neck?!?!?! You are one tough cookie.

  18. I hope you recover well from the neck surgery. What you did looks great, but when you don't like to do the technic, you don't like it, you have had a great lesson, thanks for showing your result.

  19. How pretty is this comfortable enough I may take a rest

  20. at least you tried! It does take a little practice but I can see where it would not be a good idea for a healing neck, bent over our work like we have to do.

  21. I wasn't sure I like embroidery either, but it's slowly growing on me. I didn't even attempt the chair, so I'm impressed that you did. I hope your neck gets better!

  23. I hope you'll feel so much better soon that you will try again! Your little chair is going to be so pretty. Nothing seems right after surgery, so maybe that is the problem here. It looks like what you've done is done well!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great start, you can finish when you feel better!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm sure sorry you had such a negative experience with embroidery. Maybe if you try again when you're feeling better, you'll find you like it more. You were off to such a great start!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I like what I see so far...add it to your UFO pile and the next time you pick it up it will all but complete itself! :)

  27. A good start, but sometimes that is what it takes to know its not your cup of tea. Don't feel bad because its not finished, but continue to heal after surgery.

  33. Hope you are feeling better real soon. At least your tried AND learned something. I love that chair!

  34. So far, so good. Like anything else, embroidery takes practice and part of the learning curve, unfortunately, is sticking yourself unintentionally with the needle. I used to tell my students that the more you do, the better you will get and eventually learn ways not to stick yourself as much. Embroidery is therapeutic and relaxing for me & that's why I need to do more! LOL! Hope you're back to your old self soon. Thanks for sharing.

  41. It is such a cute design and I hope you finish it when you are feeling better.

  42. Don't give up! You need to stick with it. Sorry, bad pun. What you did looks fine. It is always hard to learn new skills and recovering from surgery makes everything more difficult. I find handwork relaxing and when it isn't I put it away. Hope your recovery speeds up. Blessings!

  43. love to see your project all finished too

    nice job sew far

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hopefully as you recover from your surgery embroidery will be easier for you. It's hard when you have a deadline looming!
