Internet Resources for my Sewing Ladies - Embroidery

This is the ultimate embroidery blog. A good proprtion of what I have learnt in the past few years is down to Mary! Her Video Library of Embroidery Stitches is particularly helpful, and she also has a library of free patterns. She posts pretty much daily, and occasionally gives stuff away (though hundred's of people comment to try and win it).

A pretty good source of lots of different embroidery threads. I don't think I've ever seen quite so many in one place.
