Embroidery at its very best

in #creativity7 years ago

A great year & great Embroidery

The wonderful piece of embroidery you see below was made by my girlfriend's grandmother to commemorate the Millennium. She passed over a short time ago and when I used to see her, she would show me so many different pieces that she had made over the years, she was so creative and so very talented. My girlfriend was given this as something to remember her passion by, and the saying that she embroidered onto it translated into English from Dutch means;

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard

@crosheille has made an initiative here on Steemit to spread needlework art and get it displayed. Sewing, knitting and crocheting seems to have become a lost art, that is until Steemit. There are quite a few crafters that still love these arts. A group of us share our needlework creations every Monday using the tag #NeedleworkMonday. We share ideas, tips, patterns and techniques while encouraging and inspiring one another. Any art involving a needle is welcome! You can post new projects that you are working on or archived projects that you have pictures of. We would love for you to join us on Mondays and post under the tag so everyone can find your work. It has gotten pretty popular these past few months and more crafters are starting to share. We hope you check it out :) Thanks for your time~
