I've been unable to add any comments or links. It has been very frustrating, but it seems to be fixed now. (Fingers crossed)

Practicing on my family - Sfumato stitchouts of my parents and my daughter. I've decided that the secret lies in the choice of photograph.

Hope for the spring - I just saw this rather scruffy peacock butterfly sampling the nectar in my flowers. It is probably just out of hibernation and feeding itself up ready to find a mate. It's a good job we have plenty of nettles for them to lay their e

Does anyone have any tips to share about Sfumato digitising? I bought the module when I first bought Embird and have only just got round to playing with it. I added an outline to define some of the architectural details on this first attempt as I didn't

For a geologist - these are the (rectangular) napkins I was embroidering on Monday when I was having such a bad day. The ammonite design was just not suitable for use on rose patterned damask - hence the tea towels cut in half! I used matching bobbin t
