Hand Pieced Star Sampler

the workroom

February 2016

This was *mostly* done by hand, with the exception of the smaller circles. This is also the first time I tried using the Sanskrit OM. Post processing with PSE 8.0 to remove grid lines (did this in my grid journal), damaged some of the lighter lines...

cross stitch. hand charted.

MY first block for our sampler quilt. It is made of a Jelly Roll. I enjoyed making it! Great! Unfortunately the colours didn't came out right, the red-looking parts are normally pink, the dark ones are dark violet...

Featuring basic couching, trailing, slanted satin stitch couching, blanket stitch couching, ladder stitch couching, bokhara couching, circular couching and roumanian couching.
