I Love My Dog Embroidery: 380 Stitch Motifs for Dog Moms and Dads

At the age of 12 I was taught how to cross-stitch by my grandmother. Back in those days all young girls were taught how to do hand-sewing, cross-stitching, and embroidery. After a few days of basic lessons, my grandmother had me cross-stitching floral designs along the edges of pillowcases and bed sheets. Back in those days these type’s of handicrafts were a necessity if you wanted to add beautiful designs to your linens. These days…that craft has been loss thanks to machinery.
