I finally got my sampler in the mail on Thursday and I immediately opened it up and got to stitching. This is my first time working on a crewel embroidery project and I LOVE IT.
Pattern: Daisychain ABCs Crewelwork Sampler Kit by Alica Paulson

I finished homework for next Saturday : basic points, step 3. So we now have a coral stitched lavender field, a palestrina stitched path border, some straight stitched red wall and chimney, grey zone of chevron stitches and a four-coloured herringbone stitched field of God knows what... and I almost forgot the blanket stitched black roof. I'm afraid the romantic landscape theme is slowly turning to some extremely strange stuff. Sorry guys, I'm not good at romantic landscapes, I guess my BDSM bottom gets up to the surface and shows through...
Double weave Sampler
finished 17 April, 2011
My first project for my intermediate weaving class. We used two different warps, one on top of the other. the top warp was hand-dyed, and the bottom warp is a black and white striped pattern. Both warps are linen, and embroidery floss is used for the weft throughout.
I made this for my niece's Christening. It is mainly applique and embroidery with ribbons, buttons and embellishments onto a linen background.

A first try out for the Penny Sampler, using needle turn applique. Now really trying to figure out how to add it to the sampler, I love the dog wood petal shape!
And it turns out I really like how the background fabric showing through. I considered using sew and turn applique, but this time needle turn and show-through give me just the right organic feeling...

Mixing my color scraps for the 'main' fabric and printed whites for my background fabric, I created a completely unique look and layout for Tula Pink's Modern Sampler.

I've finished my blocks for the Summer Sampler Series QAL - Yay!
I have LOVED this QAL. Some of the blocks I would never have thought I was capable of making (top left for example) but thanks to the excellent tutorials I've managed without too much seam ripping :)
Sampler Socks from the book Sock Yarn One Skein Wonders. Yarn is Same Difference from the Knitting Goddess, in colourway Cloudy Skies.
I thought this “Same Difference” yarn -- half a skein in white and blue, the other other half skein in blue and white -- would be a good match for these sampler socks, which each use a different combination of stitch patterns.
This is my first successful attempt at knitting socks!
I collect mending samplers, mostly Dutch and mostly about an hundred years old. I love the story of how they evolved from strips of cloth that women and girl's would travel with-- gathering their repertoire of available stitches in a world with few books and no internet-- to these schoolgirl demonstrations of practice and product. Many were sewn by young girls who would go on to work in other people's homes, monogramming their wash, decorating their table linens. This was their proof.

Friendship Sampler
by friends quilt.
Many donors are simply friends. Some of us are really proud to put our names on a difficult project. The Festival allows space to recognize the creator and the people who helped them as welll as the buyer. Let me tell you they believe in writing thank you letters to each and every donor/decorator. In 30 years I've only had 1 personal thank you from a buyer. I nearly fell thru the floor in shock. If it weren't for the buyer, these gestures of goodwill and thankfulness would not be possible on this scale. The endowment board of the hosp. would still be stuck with the measely 2% hocking tickets for visiting ice shows.
