Things I've learned

I was thinking about what I've learned about stitching during the past year: 

• It's important to have a mentor/teacher to challenge and encourage me
• I love the sound of thread pulling thru the fabric
• Beautiful threads make me happy
• Silk.  What else can I say...
• The of running my fingers over an area filled with tiny seed beads is a delight
• I finally wore out needles while stitching thru rusted fabric.  Needles really can become dull!
• Stitch at least 15 minutes a day.  It adds up fast!
• Linen.  Yes, I have a new love.
