She did a very nice job . 
This is a form-a-lines patterns.

This is a card which my dad stitched for some friends from the gym where he volunteers.
He always likes to send them a a card after he arrives here for his summer visit. 
My dad started doing the paper embroidery 3 years ago during his summer visit. He has grown so much in his ability. He produces the stitched tops faster than I can keep up with adding the extras and turning them into the finished cards for him to take home for his own use.  
I am very proud of my dad's accomplishments because it is VERY difficult for him.He suffers from intention tremors which makes the threading of needles and the stitching a very big challenge.
Way to go, DAD!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   I have to admit that my favorite paper embroidery designer is Ann, of Ann's paper art. She designs absolutely fabulous stitching patterns that i adore!  I do however use several other designers for some of my stitching .  Here is one of Ann's wonderful patterns.                                                                                                                   
This was one of my christmas cards. I used to make them all alike but that sometimes gets boring when you make very many of them.

 I used several different patterns last year.
