I did buy the kit at a Quilt Shop!
This past summer, Mr. CQT and I went on a road trip to Montana. I had never been there and was surprised at how beautiful it is! We went to Great Falls, Helena and Bozeman, and, of course, I visited most of the quilt shops.
I was surprised at the prevalence of embroidery patterns, supplies and kits. I haven't seen that many in Alberta, nor in my previous trips to the US. Maybe it's a Montana thing? Or maybe an up and coming thing?
This was a little linen towel kit from
Prickly Pear Quilts in Helena.
I did a lot of embroidery as a child, and in my early 20's. I then moved to counted cross stitch, but gave that up when I discovered quilting. But it was nice to pick it back up. My vision is bad - well, it's weird. Even though I have 50 something eyes, and need bifocals, I actually can see better, close up, without my glasses. So, this weekend, I stitched and listened to an audiobook - blind to the world around me - and, actually, quite enjoyed it! I see more embroidery in my future.
