Freeform Embroidery is for anyone who likes 'colouring outside the lines' so to speak. If counted cross stitch drives you mad; if you hated your earliest experiences of being taught embroidery by a starchy, strict teacher who made you pull out and redo stitches until they were 'right'; which may have hitherto put you off embroidery 'for life'; look no further, help is at hand. Written off at secondary school as a needlework 'dunce' by one particularly nasty sewing teacher; I went on to rediscover the pure, exhilarating joy of expression through stitch when I came across the possibilities afforded by freeform embroidery. I have been stitching happily 'off-piste'ever since, and hope you will join me in what some call 'the subversive stitch'. There are no mistakes, no boundaries, no right or wrong answers; only joy. Happy Stitching !!! Love, Deena.
