A sampling of my designs as well as personal stitching, and life in general.

 SAL again - 1st of 2023

I have been doing some "test" stitching to see what kept my interest.

I decided on An Open Heart by the Drawn Thread.


It's beautiful (to me) sampler
lots of different stitches


the scissor points are pointing to where I am right now


And here is a clear photo of where I am

the middle band has all the speciality stitches
next is a whitework border around everything
on the outside is a blackwork border
completed in a medium to light mauve

you can even see my basting stitches to keep me straight
and to count correctly

Please check out the rest of the stitchers

Love this as I am a great fan of The Drawn Thread designs. I have several in my stash and think this may be one of them. However whether it is, or is not one, I have I look forward to watching you progress.
