Doodle Stitch Along

Did you happen to see Aimee Ray’s “Doodle Stitch Along” at larkcrafts.com? She has free patterns from her new book “Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection” and a flickr site so you can show off what you’ve done! Here are the cute kids I sewed…

Then, the best part is, there was a giveaway and I WON!!! I got the new book in the mail a couple days ago! I love it! It came with a few needles, a beautiful assortment of green floss and two cute little embroidery hoops! Lucky me!!

I love the project ideas that Aimee Ray comes up with! They’re such creative ways to use embroidery, not just in a hoop on the wall…but all her designs are so cute they would look adorable just in a hoop too! In fact, I’m having a really tough time deciding which to stitch next!

I’ve been a fan of Aimee’s since the first book, “Doodle Stitching: Fresh & Fun Embroidery for Beginners “. I have it in my library and love looking at it. But I got it after I started designing quilties, so I really didn’t use the patterns because I was too busy coming up with new designs of my own! (Yes, I guess I’m an Aimee Ray wanna be!) But I think now I can have some fun with these cute patterns AND come up with some more of my own…I love embroidering enough to go around!
