large flower calico
Not want I expected in fabric cover much lighter. I think I like it.
Colors I got from the center some they pick and some I chose. I add extra color just in case the fabric I got was not like the picture.

Japanese Embroidery
Why I started doing Japanese Embroidery because I wanted something challenging. I have been doing some type of stitching most of my life. I had tried many methods of stitching done on counted fabric, canvas, non-counted fabric, beading off the loom, crochet, knitting, tatting, and others that done in hand and still doing some of them. That where I came up with the name of my blog “Work in Hand”.
In 2000 I join CyberStitchers so I started attending EGA seminars, I also attended a couple of ANG seminar, before that I attended many different festivals for several years always wanting trying something new and taking classes at home when there was a shop. Then I took a Rozashi class taught by Margaret Kinsey in 2005 EGA National Seminar was in Atlanta. That year I also visited the Japanese Embroidery Center (JEC).
In Jan. 2006, I went JEC, teacher Karen L. Plater, started “Bouquet from the Heart of Japan”. Then in 2007, I attended National Academy of Needlearts (NAN), where Shay Pendray was teaching “Shay’s Stitch Buffet” I was still working on “Bouquet from the Heart of Japan”. Then I attend classes that Shay was having near her home twice a year in Troy, MI, also Diane Horschak was helping there at Troy. I have been going to NAN for many years and going to Troy at least twice a year.
