My DD has been looking at those beautiful hand embroidered handkerchers and we wondered if we could make some ourselves using a package of mens cotton handkerchefs.Im not very crafty so any ideas to decorate these and learn stitches wonld be appreciated also we need a resourse to learn stitches.Thanks ladies! :heart

here's a good list of embroidery stitches. (http://prettyimpressivestuff.com/stitches/) if you click on them they give diagrams.

you might want to check your library for a book of stitches. i have one somewhere that has really good photographs of finished stitches as well as diagrams.

have fun! :grin
