I am new to embroidery and am looking for a board for inspiration. I know that we have a forum on this board but I don't find that helpful. The boards that I found don't seem to be very active - very old activity. Any suggestions - TIA?

I think there is a Redwork of America club. Maybe they have a forum? You could check company sites for embroidery thread like DMC, Perle cotton etc.

I have recently started adding embroidery to my quilt projects, hand embroidery and found some amazing books with delightful designs to use. While I know that machine embroidery is all the rage at the present I sometimes get irritated when the emphasis is placed on using a machine as opposed to using our hands. Guess I'm getting old and grouchy. Hope you find fellow embroidery folks, which I'm sure you will. Until then I will still do my hand work. A recent mug rug swap introduced me to a woman who does the most amazing things with needle and thread that I've ever seen. Plus she does it without a pattern! Give me fabric, needle and thread and I can rule my world.
