A new blogger is born !

Hello,

I start a blog in english for my american , australian and english fellow stichers.

In advance, forgive my approximative langage. I studied english in school and improved my skills reading a lot in english.
But don't forget that french is my native langage !

The purpose of this blog is to show what I am stitching and share tips and ideas.

I am a member of EGA (Embroiderers' Guild of America) with the CyberSitchers chapter. This is has allowed me to enroll for an Individual Correspondance Course : Introduction to silk and metal thread embroidery by Kay Stanis and a Group Correspondance Course : Summer dream by Luan B. Callery.

I am also a member of ANG (American Needlepoint Guild) where I choose to subscribe to a Correspondence Course : Golden peony by Marnie Ritter.

In France I took a Luneville embroidery class at Lesage, famous french embroiderer.
I stitched this dragonfly :




I love Luneville embroidery which is en english beading tambour work.
I took several classes with an excellent french teacher : Carole Magne. I'll finish the classes in august.

Here is her website

I love needlework so much, that I work with needles, bu for other purposes : I am a nurse !

See you soon

Virginie
