This is my sampler for last week’s Take a Stitch Tuesday challenge. I took a few of the stitch patterns off the samplers of other participants… nothing really new or exciting, but I want to make sure I get most of the basics in my stitch book done every week. I’m thinking of keeping this challenge going into next year and revisiting the stitches to expand my book.
On Textile Explorations Susan did these really neat floss wrapped rings that used button hole stitch. I thought they were fabulous, so I tried my hand at a few. Of course, I also forgot how big a 10 cent piece is and mine are a wee bit bigger. The big blue one can actually fit a £2 coin through it’s hole. I’ll have to try this again with smaller forms.

I really like your sampler. It’s neat and tidy, and makes me realize how many different seams there are with this stitch. I like your idea of extending it into next year by adding a lot of exploration. The rings are unusual, thanks for the link.
Your sampler is lovely. It all fits together really well and it looks great on a blue background.
