When I began stitching this sampler 15 years ago, (gulp), I knew there were several specialty stitches I had to learn....
Just as the schoolgirls from the 18th Century used their samplers as their teaching pieces, I too, learned several new stitches on this journey....And, they are by no means perfect or mastered...
There was the rice stitch and the Algerian eye stitch....
The alternating wave stitch....
T
a few satin stitches...
and a couple types of long arm stitches...
Honestly, I have no idea why I kept pushing this sampler to back of my basket...sitting there for so long unfinished was a shame... But since this is the year of completing our WIP's...
1738 Scottish Sampler
Threads of Gold
32 ct Belfast linen
DMC threads
design size: 16 x 9
So, what will I be pulling out of that WIP basket next??? And, oldie but goodie, I am sure....2 down 13 to go~~
Happy stitching,
Faye
