resources for hand embroidery?

SortaCrunchy · 11-30-2010, 10:14 AM

I found a little project in Rae Grant's book Homemade Fun for making stuffed animal bunnies that are sewn together using a blanket embroidery stitch. I really enjoyed doing hand embroidery and I would love to know more about it.

What are some good books, sites, or blogs to check out?

Thanks!

I love Mary Corbet's blog. Her style may not be mine but she's really thorough in her instruction and posts plenty of videos. Great resource.

I love this one http://www.sublimestitching.com/ She has a tutorial for all kinds of stiches. I have the stuff to get started but it is a bit back in line of projects.

Thanks, Karen!

Based on the rave review from Mary Corbet, I ordered this and it should arrive tomorrow:
