It's been a while, but I finished another Dropcloth Sampler! Creator Rebecca Ringquist did a small run of this older (2012) sampler, and I was lucky enough to nab one. And February felt like the perfect time to stitch it.
Right away, I knew red would be one of my primary colors - no pun intended! So I used a few shades of red perle cotton with some oranges, teals, and even a variegated pink thrown in for something a little different.
I know some of you like to see the back of the stitchery, so here you go.... Not too messy, but not something I pay much attention to.
I have several little favorite bits on this one - that large aqua-ish oval on the far left and the lazy daisy next to it... and that orange oval in the upper right. I think it's mostly about the texture created! Anyway, I really enjoyed this one, and look forward to the next.
Hi Debbie, I like your chain stitching, good emphasis and the back looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteI think I finally figured out my problem with not being able to leave comments sometimes, I think it has to do with the browser I'm using. I'm thankful that came to me, because I'm certainly no computer whiz.
Have a good day!
The texture of the large aqua-ish oval on the far left definitely draws me in, too!
ReplyDeleteI want to run my fingers over that large aqua oval with the chain stitch, it looks so smooth yet textury. Nice work, nice phrase, too!
