I learned embroidery from my grandma. She used to embroider quilt blocks copied from coloring book pages. I LOVED the baby quilts she used to make for all the grands and great-grands. I was her step-grand and never got one of those baby quilts and she passed away before I had children of my own. I have taken up the tradition she started with my sibling and therefore, I must say, I adore traditional embroidery. It brings back memories of quiet times stitching with Gramma Leila.

This book looks lovely! I would love, love, love to learn how to do ribbon embroidery and use it to embellish the bridesmaids dresses I am making for my daughter's wedding in 2010! Good luck to everyone, but, mostly to me! =)
