I have been embroidering for two years. I love it, best way to end my day with a mug of tea.
ReplyDeletei have been embroidering since i was a little girl. love it, don't do it nearly enough!
ReplyDeleteI just completed my first project. I considered it my "practice piece." Took about three months for me to complete. Now I'm looking for my next project!
ReplyDeleteI've never really tried embroidering, but I've always wanted to.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the picture of the girl with the deer!
atthisvolumeee@gmail.com
what if you've never embroidered before but really like looking at them? lol
ReplyDeleteI love Megan's work! I've been eyeing her illustrations for ages. I have been dabbling with embroidery for a few years, but my techniques are very basic! How nice it would be to have this as inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!!
I started embroidering about 9 months ago - still learning. I love the craft - such creative ideas!
ReplyDeleteI started embroidering when I was in junior high- about 12 years ago. I wanted some flowers on my favorite pair of jeans! melissadawnmuth@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI've only tried a few times, but those are so cute, I'd love to give it another try!~
ReplyDeleteI've only tried embroidering a few times and I don't think i'd ever be that good!
ReplyDeleteLove and Turtledoves,

I've just started learning. Wish I could be half as good as her, haha.
ReplyDeleteI haven't embroidered since middle school, but this would be just the inspiration to bring me back to it!
ReplyDeleteI've been embroidering for about 10 years, I believe! These patterns are amazing! catherineidelgado@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI've only been embroidering for a few years, so I'm still developing a talent for it. Love these patterns!!
ReplyDeleteI learned to embroider when I was a little kid, and I took it back up again about a year ago. I'm currently working on embroidering the bookcloth for my wedding guest book. Megan Eckman's illustrations are so lovely and will make beautiful embroidery patterns!
ReplyDeleteI've been embroidering since I can remember! Probably about 4th grade. I'm 34 now. Has always been something to help me unwind. I plan to teach my little girl when she seems old enough to handle a needle!
ReplyDeleteBeeLoveLee@msn.com
I learned how to embroider when I was 10. Unfortunately, I haven't kept it up. But I'd love to win it for my sister, for whom embroidery is her favorite pastime.
ReplyDeleteI've only recently started dabbling in embroidery and I am falling harder and harder each time. It is actually a small part of a gift project I am working on for a friends' bridal shower gift!
ReplyDeleteThese works by Megan at Studio MME are just gorgeous! I would love to win :)

ReplyDeletechdevelopments@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteHonestly I can't really remember, I think I started cross stitching in high school, but I've been embroidering on different fabrics on and of from before then even. Would love to do one of these patterns<3

Embroiding is on my list. First im trying sewing and knitting! Love being creative!
ReplyDeleteOoooo, I am so excited I was just drooling over these last night and was even more excited when I logged on here to find the give away. I have been "fawning" over "Coming Home" :p I have been embroidering since middle school and that was quite some time ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures and designs! I've been embroidering since I was young. My mom taught me and my little sister all sorts of crafty mediums and the stitchery and crocheting stuck with me. The last thing I embroidered was a picture of my two cockatiels, Elvis and Stella.
ReplyDeleteis it okay to enter this even though i don't embroider? i use embroidery hoops to make "hoop art" using vintage map paper though!
ReplyDeleteStudying textiles in College and have been stitching this numerous years before that.....
ReplyDeleteoops email address is amgartstudios@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh, Megan's art is fantastic! I love the 'Coming home' embroidery. I just started this winter, because I was bored of crochet and knitting. But I could use some practice.. :)

oh these are fabulous! i have been embroidering on and off since the ancient days when i first learned at 8 years old, which was in 1979!
ReplyDeletelittlejennybee@gmail.com
I've been embroidering officially for two years now, but the first time I ever attempted to stitch anything was when I was ten years old and I made my puppy have a fancy tea party with me where I thought it would be classy to sew a big letter V into a handkerchief. Needless to say, my attempt wasn't very successful with a restless puppy and without a hoop...
ReplyDeleteI have never embroidered but this is absolutely lovely and I would definitely learn to make this!
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous. I'm not an embroiderer but it's certainly on my to-do list.

Oh my goodness, the deer one is adorable! I have been setting myself up to begin embroidering, my sister's grandmother is going to give me lessons.

Wow, love these! I'm going to start embroidering now, so that i can learn to use these beautiful patterns:)
ReplyDeleteI've been embroidering for as long as I can remember! My grandmother used to sit me down with a needle and thread to keep me still while she knitted. I used to make little squiggly people with misshapen heads and odd looking faces. I'm much better at it now tho! I incorporate painting on fabric as well as embroidering it!
ReplyDeleteMandy
I adore this! I've have embroidered ever since I was a little girl. In the last 3 years I have gotten more serious.
ReplyDeleteConsidermydear(at)rocketmail(dot)com

ReplyDeleteit is on my bucket list as well as knitting. :)
I embroidered something in school...once! Embroidery is beautiful, I'm just not so good with my hands...the girl with her antlers is mesmerising.

To be honest I've never tried my hand at embroidery, although my mother/grandmother/aunts/sister all do it and I've always been curious about it. I'd love to learn, though!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I have been embroidering for YEARS. This post made me think back and realize that it's probably been 15 or 20 since I first picked up an embroidery hoop - eek! These patterns look like they will be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI've been embroidering for about 5 years? But I'm not a consistent embroiderer, whatsoever. i'm loving it more and more, though. and usually will add embellishments to my wet-felted pieces and accessories! <3
ReplyDeleteI remember embroidering as a kid, but just picked it up again a couple of years ago.

Oh, how lovely!! I started embroidering probably 3 years ago? I instantly fell in love - perhaps it had root in my 12 year old self's cross-stitch habit? :) My fingers are crossed!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful giveaway. Can I still enter if I have not yet ventured into embroidery, but have wanted to for over a year - but have just needed a little push to know where to start - like, say, winning an embroidery pattern - that would definitely light the fire ;-)

ReplyDeleteI've been embroidering for almost 2 years, although lately I've been trying my hand at cross-stitching. I've been collecting embroidered wall-art (specifically florals!) for much longer though. Great giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteMy mother taught me to embroider when I was a child, but until the beginning of this year, I only used to cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this giveaway :)
I started embroidering 3 years ago and it was the first thing I could do. Than I learned cross-stitching and after that I started sewing and crocheting.
ReplyDeleteBut I never made something so special like the these!!
This is a grat giveaway!

Cute!! I don't know how long I've been embroidering, but my grandma taught my sister and I embroidering, cross stitch, and knitting in the summer holidays. Great memories.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing basic embroidery for about a year. I have yet to take on a project as detailed as the pieces above, but I'd love to try!
ReplyDeleteI've been embroidering for about 5 yrs, ever since my co-worker gave me the most beautiful wooden case filled with an array of rainbow of thread!
ReplyDeleteSo, so, so pretty! One of these must live on my wall, and SOON! Don't laugh, but I have been embroidering for about 14 months now, the problem is, it's still the same piece..... I think I aimed a little high for my first :) No matter - I love it, and Megan's work blows my mind!
