Last summer, Rebecca Ringquist of Dropcloth Samplers @dropcloth asked if I'd be interested in stitching ahead on a few samplers that would be part of her new stitch of the month program that was coming out in 2025. I said, "yes, please!" right away, not really knowing what to expect, other than that the samplers would feature different stitches.
Well before long, I got a package, and it contained way more than I expected! Rebecca had included nearly everything I'd need to stitch the samplers.
- Wonderfil x Dropcloth—Picnic Perle Cotton Threads set
- Tulip Hiroshima Milliner’s Needles Size 3
- Vintage Thread Label Needle Minders
- Polka Dot Embroidery Scissors in Wonderbread
- the three samplers backed with Shape-Flex Interfacing
Gotta say, that all made starting in even more fun than usual! Here are the samplers I stitched.
Blanket Stitches
Detatched Stitches
Filling Stitches
I was excited to see that the series that these samplers are part of recently got released - as
Stitch Passport Samplers. The set includes twelve samplers, each focused on a different family of stitches. Plus there's a corresponding class available on creativebug - Embroidered Sampler Passport Book: A Daily Practice. If you look close, you might get a glimpse of my three samplers in the class sessions. Glad I can finally share about them!
