I have found it very easy to teach kids to embroider...the hardest part being the up and down of the needle instead of "up and around" whereby the floss ends up in giant loops around the hoop. Look what Heidi's boys did on their spring break with embroidery floss (or don't look if you are not a fan of long skinny slithery things). Super cool!
When I taught people to embroider at SORR last weekend, I brought this sampler with me so they could see a few different stitches and decide which ones to try out.
Stitching rocks!
Spread the word!
Happy Quilting Day!

I love this post! It is fun to teach kids to stitch. My 6 and 8 year old boys love to stitch along with me. And you are right, Heidi's boys did a super job!
Great stitch sampler! I agree, being able to see the topic at hand makes everything so much easier to teach.
That was a great sampler that you brought...I am sure that they loved it!
