![]() Thank you for filling many lonely, painful hours with something to anticipate and a tangible reward at the end. ![]() I have just the place to put the finished product. I enjoy needlework projects that can be fun, lovely, and serve a useful purpose. I am to have the second knee replacement surgery on Decemand I would love to have Carolyn Pearce’s Home Sweet Home: An Embroidered Workbox project to start during this recovery. It has been wonderful fun and I learned a lot. The spider web made great hub caps on the dump truck and racing cars. I tried the Plaited Braid stitch in the book unsuccessfully but did achieve the braid stitch in your tutorial to make a “fine” dumpster body for the dump truck. Instead of all cross stitch, satin stitch and back stitch recommended I substituted many of the stitches with more interesting stitches such as rope stitch, coral stitch, ladder stitch, Romanian stitch, and Hungarian Braided stitch. I purchased the A-Z of Embroidery Stitches 2 and kept it in the tote, too. The 12 inch squares fit into a convenient size tote and was always available. I had knee replacement surgery on Novemand I used a baby quilt cross stitch kit as a crutch to get me through the waiting room appointments, hours of rehab and just plain boredom. I must have the bunny at the front door of the house! All four sides are wonderful but the front door bunny is the best. Thank you for all you do to share your love of stitching and the how to’s. If I don’t win a copy, it will be a purchase I make so I can make the house and all it’s contents! The book also teaches some techniques I haven’t tried yet. The book makes this project look doable, with clear directions, beautiful pictures and would be a very special treat for a very special girl. I have 5 granddaughters and have been working so that each will have a special sewing box made by Grandma… My favorite part is the little house as it reminds me of my youngest granddaughter, Cassandra, who is just 3-1/2 now, because the bunny, strawberrys, bugs and flowers remind me of her and innocence. I have been making smalls and putting together sewing boxes (from shaker box, to fabric, to wood box with fancy stitched lid). When I saw the Home Sweet Home embroidered workbox book review in your daily blog (which I read devotedly on a daily basis), I thought it was one of the cutest little “sewing boxes” I’d ever seen.
