Embroidery Marathon – Complete!
By Serena Nabeta | October 5, 2009
Whew! I feel like all I did last week was embroider. And actually that’s just about what I did! My goal starting last Tuesday morning was to get 30 hours of embroidery done in two days. Did I make it? I’m thrilled to say yes! Here’s what I was able to get accomplished among other things!
I like the purple fabrics and threads, but really loved the flower once it was stitched!
And the teal flower was just as beautiful!
30 hours…606,045 stitches…3,312 yds of embroidery thread…24 bobbins…9 yards of stabilizer later……..all three center medallion blocks are stitched! Whoohoo!!!

Serena it is stunning. If only I had that kind of time. All my embroideries have to wait for sunday when I am free and I could only accomplish 1 and maybe a small 2.

Serena,
The center blocks are beautiful. You are the stitch wizardess.
The people we give our work to haven’t a clue as to what we put into the item, but I am sure they know about the love we put in every stitch.
