Learning how to embroider with my mom

Is embroidering the same as cross stitching? Shoot... Is that what it's called cross stitching?

Hold let me Google.

No, they are two different forms of needlework.

Looks like this embroidering stuff has a lot more tools compared to cross stitching with just one needle.

I think.

No, they are two different forms of needlework.

Thx.

 

[CSAchook]

Thx.

Cross stitch always follows a pattern and involves many tiny stitches all of the same type, on a particular kind of specialty fabric. Embroidery can be done using a pattern or freehand, it encompasses many different types of stitches, can be done on almost any fabric, and can even incorporate beads, ribbons, and other notions.

Like my dragon done with yarn on tightly-woven... cotton, I think it is:

Out of curiosity, has anyone here made lace?

I don't think I can until he has actual earned income.

Nope, you can set it up for him and either him or you can make deposits. Roth IRA is what you want. Just ask the bank and they'll be happy to help you.

My mother does tatting but I have never tried it.

I just talked to one niece. She turned 14 today.
This is two week period that both her and her older sister are both 14.

The older one's bday is later this month.

Oh wow hahah my little brother and I are somewhat similar except we’re never the same age haha and we’re a lot further apart. We’re almost 2 full years apart (21 months or something, I always think we’re closer in age than that though ) but his birthday is December and mine is in March so his is always “before” my next one so for like 3 months we’re only a “year” apart instead of two haha that’s how it is right now, 25 and 26, but soon it will be back to two.

I have some cross stitch X pattern on repeat things that I did when I was pregnant.

I have no idea where they are but I'm going to dig.
