Appetizer Sampler at IHOP with battered and deep fried mozzarella sticks, chicken strips, and onion rings. $4.99
My sampler from lesson 2. The spokes are done with crewel wool. The fly stitches and chain stitches are done with wool, pearl #5 and 6 strands of floss. The french knots are done with wool. I also added seed beads and sequins.
I've always kept this little sampler my grandma made me in my floss box. She taught me how to embroider when I was 6! I also keep a pair of doll boots in there for an unknown reason.
I finished my first embroidery project. My 22 month old daughter periodically checked in on the progress, telling me, "See Circles!"
I think I like embroidery, but what do I do with this?
Yeah it's a bit late, but it's her Christening today, so it's a Christening present.
This is probably the most fun I've had to date with a sampler. Thanks to the lovelies at www.spritestitch.com for Yoshi, Peach and the stars.
It's taking a while, but I've made a bit of progress! My 'teach myself embroidery' sampler is proving very therapeutic. Although no-one seems to want to sit next to me when I'm sewing on the tram. ??

The cheapo feeder was popular today during the snow storm. It was tough to get clean shots of individual birds. This one has a Cardinal, House Sparrow and White-throated Sparrow flying past.
This is one of those photos that probably looks better as a "thumb"

This embroidery sampler is hanging in a restaurant in the village. Fanciful birds, some with multiple heads, decorate the huipiles of this village, the older ones often all in red. Newer ones are in multiple bright colors and are dazzling. The work here is outstanding, unlimited creativity, though only the oldest women still wear the huipil anymore. Young women wear it only for special occasions, if at all. These birds are turkeys.
Una muestra de bordado a mano con diseños tradicionales de guajolotes. El uso de un solo color (rojo) es muy tradicional para huipiles pero ahora, los hacen con muchos colores. Se bordó esta servilleta en tela comercial cuadrillé, pero para hacer un huipil lo tejen en telar de cintura. Las aves son guajolotes.

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 made this stitch sampler from the project/pattern in SS Embroidered Effects .... was really a lot of fun to make. I pretty much stuck to the colors used in the book.
A modern twist on old fashioned embroidery samplers made to commemorate a year or special event.
Inspired by one of the most written-about stories of 2008 - The Credit Crunch!
For a competition on Folksy - I came 4th! Hurrah! Thanks to everyone who voted xxx
As a crafter, I've been really interested in how an almost wartime-like "make do and mend" attitude has been cropping up in connection with the credit crunch. Now the mass-consumption bubble has burst people are rediscovering the specialness of handmade things, and "old fashioned" hobbies like sewing are experiencing a revival:

Freehand embroidery on white felt, framed in an embroidery hoop.
I made a frame for it using a really neat old miter saw. I'm thinking of making a pattern for it, but hmm...

This sampler was given to me by an old friend of many years on a milestone birthday. It's hanging over my desk and it makes me smile every time I read it. I am lucky to have some wonderful friends.
