I found an embroidery project in my sewing room that is likely close to 20 years old.
My hands have been giving me grief for the better part of a year and I haven't done any hand sewing at all. I miss it! I decided to see if my hands could manage an embroidery needle. They can!
My eyes, however, are a different story. I was in my 30s when I put this project away. Even with my failing eyesight, I can still easily see 50 from where I'm sitting. I hope eventually to figure out where to hold this hoop so that I can see to stitch this!
If I do find that embroidery is the handwork for me, I won't need to buy any projects. I probably have 10 entire quilt kits waiting for me in my sewing room. Apparently I had big embroidery plans 20 years ago!

Love it. I also have a hoard of embroidery projects, mostly vintage orphans that other people abandoned.
