Bronwyn’s Handmade Christmas August 2018: Weighted Blankets

I was immediately drawn to the paper snowflake-inspired

Sashiko Embroidered Towels

Sashiko-Embroidered Tea Towels: Bronwyn’s Handmade Christmas October 2017

When I was in junior high and high school, I did a lot of counted cross-stitch, but I didn’t do much straight-up embroidery. I haven’t done much needlework (aside from knitting and crochet) since then. Over the past few years, my Pinterest feed has been full of beautiful embroidery. The designs range from cute to

Can you believe I’m thinking about Christmas already? It’s only six months away, folks! What’s that mean for us? It’s time for Bronwyn’s Handmade Christmas, of course!
