It’s been a while since I picked up a stitching project. I have a few things on the go, but nothing really grabbing my attention at the moment. Dandelion embroidery I’ve had a subscription to Love Embroidery magazine for a few years now. It’s not as good as Mollie Makes magazine, which was my favourite,…
