While that was happening there was Glass Fest going on at Pacific Art Glass. I mentioned it a few days ago. So I found a little report on the happenings over there on Holly’s Folly Blog. Check it out. It sounds like it was a super good time. Demos and raffles and a glass contest. I did stop by on Saturday to take advantage of the sale. There was beautiful glass on display for the contests.

Let’s dive into what makes this kit so great. It comes with three patterned embroidery fabrics, each adorned with a beautiful floral design. Alongside these fabrics, you’ll find an embroidery hoop to keep your fabric taut, three colored embroidery threads, and a generous supply of nine embroidery needles. Plus, the kit includes a comprehensive embroidery book, guiding you through 28 different stitches – perfect for beginners looking to expand their skills.

One of the standout features of this kit is its ease of use. The embroidery book provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions in English, covering everything from handling embroidery thread to framing the finished product.

Additionally, the kit includes practice fabrics specifically designed for beginners.
