It felt like a bit of a race to get my current Dropcloth sampler finished before the 100 Day Summer Sewalong starts on June 1. But in the end, I finished with a week to spare. The Paisley sampler took me a while to really get into. Unlike the most recent ABC Sprinkle, where there was only one stitch to focus on, this one definitely had more, plus stitch decisions to make throughout. And I had trouble narrowing in on a palette. Where usually I've kept my palette very controlled, this time it was all over the place.
So with number eight here, I think my sampler days will be slowing down. Though don't hold me to it. Their creator, Rebecca Ringquist, has been tempting us with the upcoming release of a couple of new designs, so time will tell. Meanwhile, the basket of perle cotton will be waiting.
So bright and fun! It sounds like you have set yourself up well for the summer with the 100 days project. With 8 of these samplers complete, do you have plans for how to use them?
