My mother taught me basics to keep me happy when in bed with some crud. No TV in those days. My brother became a rather proficient knitter and he enjoyed it before somebody told him real men don't knit.<BR/><BR/>JaneJane in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077973752547502189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698041040077198276.post-67696537385920957762008-10-18T10:06:00.000-05:002008-10-18T10:06:00.000-05:00Jane, most of us learned from our moms or grandmas...Jane, most of us learned from our moms or grandmas so we've never seen an embroidery book.<BR/><BR/>Here's a fantastic looking online site for you.

Nothing fancy but will send to you if I can find it. I took a class when Best Sewing was still in business in Knoxville, but never had occasion to use it. Now do you think I can REMEMBER how?
