My new lomo action sampler bought from the Lomo shop in Bighton, finish is chrome - can't wait to take it for a spin :-)
Close up of the complete squares I got done so far.
The French knotted sewing machine is my favorite, I wanted it to be like a vintage Singer sewing machine. French knots were a pain but it's matter of practice. Also I used 100% rayon thread to make the flourish details and it made the work harder but since it's my first time at French knotting I like how it looks.
My second favorite is the feather stitch square, I really like the colors, I used lamé thread in one of the "branches", never stitched with that material before, it was tricky but I like challenges.
Dug into the stash for an older favorite (the white/black print), and a newer favorite (the acid green print)..
A giant sampler I've done for the window of Red Door Gallery in Edinburgh. It was not without it's problems but I am pleased with how it turned out. iPod included for scale, bottom left.
A sampler for Intermediate Crewel. Original design in that I was given the shapes and had to put them together. Appleton crewel wool, mainly double. Some stitches were surprisingly easy, other were hard to do well and very tedious to complete (stitch, unpick, stitch, unpick ...).
A work in process... I felt like making something sweet and girlie ... These are little grannies in different colors and patterns done in Caron soft yarn using the join as you go method in half double crochet.

Biltemasta "ei kiipeilykäyttöön" - toimii tossa hyvin kun yhden saa kerrallaan irti kätevästi.
Strobist: Does not need much explanation - this seems to be pretty handy, divided the set in two and I can shuffle it around the loop nicely and once I find what I want, it's easy to remove it from the clip for use. These are the cheapo "not for climbing" aluminum clips.
The 3u high case is tightly packed, multiple circuit boards, what looks like about a mile of interconnection wire. The UI is very good, some of these old devices are still fun to play with (=creativity-enhancing) today.
Double weave Sampler

Top fringe - sections of 4 threads were twisted together into a cord across the top, then knotted in a macrame design of square knots, with the excess fringe knotted into 2 sections on either side.

Eddie Bauer edition of a 35mm Action Sampler. I haven't taken any photos with this in a while. I still have some old prints and negatives in a box somewhere, I am wanting to scan when I get the time.
Used it a few weeks ago and realize now, the last lens is not opening properly in sequence. It sometimes stays open until I advance the frame, or doesn't open at all.
One of my collection of samplers.
This one is modern but based on traditional designs. It is dated 2000. I found it on Kettering market in 2009.
I needed just one more square for such a long time! Finally, I got it quilted by Pam, it looks great!
Here are two more color versions of the layered floral. I combined basic and half drop versions with both dark and light backgrounds in one swatch to save money. I've already printed four or five of them in an attempt to get colors I like. Changed them all this time except a couple of greens. I also had some dark yellow flowers, and some light in the dark background version, but they show no apparent difference.
Still not happy! I don't know what's wrong. I've picked from my chart, and tried not to get red/blues and green/blues together, but, again, it just didn't work! The light sides of the bluebells on the light background have a red/violet tint that doesn't work with the blue background. Think I'll try making them solid in the darkest of the blues.
