Thank you! This brought back many memories of my embroidery phase at age 15 (50 years ago). I still have a chambray shirt on whose back I embroidered a pattern of a rainbow, animals and flowers that I took from an image on a school folder I had at the time. This makes me want to take a break from knitting and crocheting for a bit and do more embroidery.
