About Me
- Name: Elizabeth
How did I ever get pulled into counted thread needlework on a linen ground?
The opportunity to explore some of God's simple shapes with a needle and thread caught my attention and keeps my interest. Stitches, color, design, pattern, texture that all plays apart in it.
Is it the most important thing in life or in my life? No! But it is a part shared here.
I appreciate your stop by this blog and welcome you to comment and come back again. At this point as you see I'm not posting every day. But I'm learning and finding a rhythm for this. So the frequency that you see in the past posts will probably be pretty typical at this point.
Thank you for visiting!
Favorite books on learning how to execute stitches:
The Proper Stitch by Darlene O'Steen
A Pageant of Pattern... by Sherlee Lantz
Current reads related to my interest in needlework:

As related to everything in life:

I think this is working but I see some errors in labeling my photos. And this process puts an extra click between the reader and the picture. Not the ideal world yet!
Hi Elizabeth,
I would happily click twice (or more) to see your photos. However, when I click on Trial 1 and Trial 2 a Flickr page appears, announcing that I don't have permission to view the photos. Could I be doing something wrong? I'll try back -- your work is always so inspiring.

Elizabeth, thanks so much for letting me know about this. There must be some setting that I don't have right at Flickr. I'm off to see about it right now. Thanks again.

This time Flickr let me in -- and your designs are exquisite. What a pleasure to see them!
Elizabeth, I'm so glad it's working. Thanks for checking back again and the generous encouragement thrown in all along the way!
