An Eternal Summer of Embroidery
Hello again! It’s Cheri from Tinkinstitches etsy designs and Tinkerellen Instagram land. I want to chat about my favorite thing: embroidery. There’s something I love about how well embroidery and summer go together. As soon as warm weather rolls around I pack a few pouches with projects I can bring along to the beach, swim lessons, park dates and even just to sit in the front yard on a quilt and chat with the neighbors. Embroidery is so versatile and portable because you need very little to start. Basically, a…
