Embroidery inchie sampler part 3

stem stitch, lazy daisy, cross stitch & blanket stitch

I'm a little surprised that the embroidery sampler is taking on a life of its own, in a good way. In the beginning I had ideas of what I would do, of how it would look, but having a contributing partner kind of throws all those expectations out the window ... and makes it much more exciting!

The time came to set the butterfly quilt free, and I'm missing it already.

Fancywork, embroidery, stitchery

When I was a child in North Queensland, part of our school curriculum in year 4 (8-9 years old) was to create a "fancywork" sampler. Then as a young adult I did "embroidery". As an experienced lady - indulge me please , I now do "stitchery".
Fabric + needle + thread ... no matter what it's called, it is very dear to my heart and I always hope to be able to do it in some form or another.

Bohemian crocheted granny cushion

Yarn love, scrappy love, colour love

This cushion has it all for me.

I spent last year running around too busy to know where I was going, and consequently didn't get time to make my Hawthorne Threads "Cottontail" fabric into the planned cushion.

With Easter just around the corner (again), it's time to start cutting and sewing.
