Linen…oh my….love the variety of colors….some of these I ordered from the Intrepid Thread and some I purchased at my lqs.
Online, I spied this fun idea with words and applique…..
I really love this red and white twine, so I decided to embroider with it….what do you think??
I must admit that I am enjoying this new endeavor….
Here is the giveaway for this week…a wide variety of the projects I have been working on….enjoy! Happy Sewing!!
I hadn’t thought of using those for stitching! I love the candy cane effect 🙂
Great idea. I love the fun things to make at Christmas time. It brings out the inner child. jennylarking@gmail.com

I would never have thought to embroider with twine. I love it. I need to get more adventurous! The scraps look awesome!
What a great idea Brooke! I have some twine somewhere!
Good luck with the stitching. The twine gives a great effect too.

I used to cross stitch all the time, but I only worked with linen once – it is a great canvas. Thanks for the chance to win!
How cute is that! If you didn’t want to embroider or if your twine is thick you could also try couching it.
Looks like fun!
Love the Merry in twine it looks so cute.
It looks like a candy cane! Very creative.
Just popping over from Etsy to visit your blog. Thanks for the beautiful fabric that arrived today. =)
Neat idea, I never thought to use twine for embroidery… would be perfect to stitch a name on a stocking!!
The twine looks great!
Love those scraps. I would give them a good home for a while.
That embroidery looks truly fantastic!
I’ve never thought to use twine to embroider, it looks great! Thanks for the chance at some bright and happy scraps.
I am loving linen too at the moment!
I need to get back to embroidery again! I miss it so much and never seem to do it anymore. So relaxing and rewarding.
I’m always afraid of putting holes in fabric, then having to take out all of the stitches. your stitches look yummy!
i would love to win thanks
Oh, yes, the Baker’s twine for embroidery is BRILLIANT; I love the candy cane effect!
What a fun giveaway….Merry Christmas!
Thanks!

Love your embroidery! How clever. I never would have thought to use that. I did not know Julie had linen!
I love that you used twine for your embroidery. That’s such a great idea and it’s so festive =D
