Thank you Trish you are inspiring as always!
Thank you Trish. You are so sweet to share.
Thank you so much – love it.
What a stunning design. I cannot wait to get stitching it. So far in the last few days I have stitched kitties in a teacup, a kitten on a pile of wool, sheep on a hillside and now this beautiful design will be next. Thank you so much yippee!
Merci beaucoup, même si je ne comprends pas tout ce que vous écrivez, mon anglais appris à l’école est bien loin, et comme je l’ai appris dans les livres, je n’ai jamais su le , mais je comprends un peu l’écrit.J’apprécie les “cadeaux” que vous nous envoyez pendant le confinement : heart, bee.En ce moment je brode la giraffe.
Encore merci,En France lundi 11, on pourra un peu plus sortir
Cordialement

Thank you.
Thanks again,Trish! He is really so delightful. I long to have my stash close by!
Hi Liandre just a thought I believe that restrictions have lifted in Australia, think you could probably order a few things online. Sure they would be happy to ship to you. You can find some suggested embroidery shops here: https://trishbembroidery.com/pages/stockists

Thank you very much For your PDF it.s very kind of you. It.s always a pleasure to read you and to discover your embroidery.
I am going to spend the lockdown to learn the needle painting with your books.
Take care of you. Best regards. Cécile from France
Wonderful Cecile!!

Hello everyone. Question: do I NEED the “interface” or whatever it was to make my pages more rigid?…. Thanks.
Hi Lina, Before interfacing was invented we used to leave the bottom edge of the pages open, insert thin cardboard then fold the raw edges Then use ladder or top sewing stitch to sew the edges shut.
Thanks for answering Carol – would you like a job as my virtual assistant (ha ha)! I agree with you this is another way to create stiffer pages and will look great. You could also use my instructions for mounting on to card – you would have to use a very lightweight card, you can find them here; https://trishbembroidery.com/pages/how-to-mount-your-embroidry
You will have to ensure that the centre (fold line) is left free so that you can stitch through it as it will not work with card. Trish
Hi LIna you could use Carol’s suggestions of inserting card or you could just use a thicker piece of fabric as an interfacing/vilene if you don’t have any on hand. It will make your pages less floppy. Trish
FYI – the reason we add interfacing/vilene to the pages is to make them sturdier, however you don’t want them too thick as you still need to stitch through the pages down the centre fold when you assemble your book. The instructions show you how to use an awl/hammer and nails to make holes which works well through layers of fabric but would be virtually impossible through card. Suggest if you use card that you leave a gap down the centre of each page so that it is easier to assemble the pages.
Also you don’t need to worry about the page assembly right now. Just stitch the projects on each page and then when we have completed all 12 projects we will assemble the pages. Unless you are in a hurry then go ahead!

This bee is so cute, thank you very much for this nice gift, waiting a few days to go see it for real !! Chantal from France
Thank you! This will be a fun project. Are you doing the embroidery directly on the page or on another piece of fabric and attaching that to the page?
Am embroidering directly on the page. You will see in the book layout that in step 1 you trace and cut out the pages, then mount into a hoop and do the stitching. Once the stitching has been done on both sides of the double page – put aside. Finally we will sew up each page, and compile into a book.
Thank you so very much! From a grateful admirer
Thank you so much -a little gift for us mothers -to celebrate what makes us buzz🌻🌻🌻
