It's been four years now that I've been stitching along on Dropcloth @dropcloth samplers, and I still enjoy it very much. New in 2024 was the beginning of a series of small Floral Stitches samplers, and those will continue into 2025, 12 in total. This year I also made just a couple of the stitched samplers into usable items, but as always, the stitching is the real goal. Anyway, here are the samplers I stitched this year:
Knotted Stitches
Milky Way
Spring Fling
I actually made Spring Fling and Milky Way into 'table toppers' or whatever, by backing and binding them with a coordinating fabric. This tutorial reminded me how to finish those mitered corners nicely. Unfortunately I wrapped Milky Way before I thought to snap a photo, but you get the idea.
Floral Stitches VII
Gotta say, I'll be sorry when that Floral Stitches sampler series comes to an end. I've really enjoyed them! In fact I'm working on one now....
Just for fun! Here are links to the samplers I've finished in 2021 | 2022 | 2023.
Dropcloth makes me happy! I'm halfway through the Stitch of the Month series. Accumulating the Floral series, but not starting them until I finish the other ones :) Happy embroidering!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all the samplers together. I hope there's a fun new series or idea after the Floral Stitches sampler series is complete!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching! I like the Milky Way with the reds, oranges and turquoise colors, lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch great stitchery patterns. I love the idea of combining them into a runner. Nice.
