I am having such a fascination with embroidery lately. This is the second alphabet sampler I have in progress. How many alphabet samplers does one person need, anyway? Well, at least these two, and probably I won’t stop there, you know how I am.
This one actually sprang into my imagination as a result of the other one—I bought this thread to use for the more traditional one I’ve been working on:
The hand-painted orange color turned out to be a little loud for the more subdued palette I’ve been using here, so I was going to just stash it until another idea came along. But another idea came along immediately!
Don’t you love it when that happens?
I have wanted to do an alphabet sampler for such a long time! this is one I really would love to do! http://rosylittlethings.com/daisychainsamplerkit.html
ReplyDeleteHi Casey--me too! In fact, I have my order in for that one already. If I'm not careful, I'll have three alphabet samplers in progress; then I'll never get the dishes done. :)
