My Sampler Project is finally finished. I love each and every square because I learned so much from the challenge.
Visit my blog, www.fiberluscious.blogspot.com and see how it all came together.
Watch for my next "Come Stitch With Me" Challenge.

Sorry the fabric wasn't flat in the photo. At least I didn't use the flash this time. The cross stitch band I designed just before I started stitching it to make sure that it would fit lengthwise between rows 9 and 11. I changed and added to it as I stitched it. I tried to design my own acorn blackwork pattern, but I found a better one designed by Marion Scoular and used hers instead. I have learned so much from this class and I can't wait to get started on my Lesson 2 sampler!
After a year of languishing in my closet, I finally finished last year's summer sampler quilt. Well, it's more of a comforter, really. Blogged

#4805 - 2021 Day 56: Rather busy with too much other stuff today, so I'm making a straight record of something that remains of sentimental value - a cross-stitch sampler that I made myself whilst at Primary School in about 1968. Who says that craft and play has always been gender stereotypical, and that it is only now we're becoming enlighened to it ... ?

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.

So we went to this place called Eatalia (I am not kidding) and they have all these small shops and restaurants. One sold these small bites, so I had three. WOW!
Handwritten calligraphy
The text was spontaneously handwritten during a live demo for attendees at ArtPlosure, an annual arts & crafts festival in Raleigh NC using various broad edged pens, pointed pens, reeds, and brushes.
I LOVE marks, strokes, doodles, letters, the alphabet, punctuation, words, lower case, upper case, phrases, pens, inks, and whatever other possible thingamajigs and whatchamacallits may be involved. They dwell in my heart and feed my soul.
Using a vintage pattern from Antique Patterns Library. Used silk yellow floss for the honeycomb part.
I stitched this from a pattern from Birds of a Feather (I love their stuff). My digital camera is on the blink, so I had to use my iPhone to take the pic. Looks better in person, I think.
Here are a few sneak peeks of a vintage lace sampler I have just finishedt. I am not showing it in its entirety as I am submitting it for publication in the next Sew Somerset magazine and don't want to give too much away yet. (Lots of 20 minute sessions!)

These are really samples of borders. Instead of using the borders for parts of other cross stitch, I stitched the whole page! There are three pages of this book I did. Ten years old now.
I am a sucker for samplers alpha or borders or anything sample like. I also like shadow cross stitch.
For Week 1, we did a sampler of a scene from nature (lots of pesticides in OUR water, eh?) using a variety of stitches. I used tapestry wool on black felt, attached afterwards to foamcore to keep the shape, lettering is cotton floss. The frog is perle cotton 3. Of course I used waste canvas to do the lettering! (People sometimes give me too much credit.) The couched "log" is handspun yarn cast-on to a plastic drinking straw. Stitches for the sampler: backstitch, straight stitch/seed stitch, running stitch, chain stitch, satin stitch, cross stitch, star stitch, French knots, fly stitch, couching, and the frog is made of bullion knots.

Situated on 123 acres, Inniswood Metro Gardens is a continual source of inspiration for central Ohioans of all ages. A natural woodland is home to native wildflowers, wildlife and waterways which provides a majestic backdrop to the beautifully landscaped gardens and lawns.

I've finally finished and framed my spring sampler stitchery. Pattern & blogged at bakercourt.blogspot.com
I've been finding myself very drawn to samplers lately - I'm not sure why, but I guess I love the idea of girls and women creating some sort of record and example of their needlework. I love the look and feel of old samplers - the general composition of them - but not the old graphics they used. I thought it would be fun to do a Sublime Stitching Sampler, so I dug through all my Sublime Stitching transfers (in the book and a few transfer packs) and put this together. I'm not 100% satisfied with the final stamping (I rushed and got a few bits crooked) but I think it's going to be fun to work on for a while. I'm taking pictures of finished bits as I go along. Eventually, it will be framed and hung in my office/craft space. :)
