[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP- My advice is first learn to do it using a small kit. Just order a kit that has everything in it that you need. If you celebrate Christmas, try a Christmas tree ornament. It'll look nice when you are done and teach you the basics. It'll be small so you'll finish quickly. You are planning to both design and then stitch your own sampler. There are patterns and kits online where you can just put in your own information into the design. This would make it easier rather than designing from scratch. Your idea is really nice-- I think handcrafts are great because 1) you always feel productive even when bingeing netflix; 2) keeps your hands busy if you are trying not to eat or smoke; 3) staves off boredom at meetings and things that you have to attend (back to school night or committee meetings or whatever); 4) learning something new keeps your brain functioning at a higher level; 5) people will really appreciate what you make. Best of luck! [/quote]
