Throughout the entire series of 12 small (4") samplers, I've used Wonderfil size 8 perle cotton, choosing colors and stitches as I went.
And now, I have 12 lovely little samplers stitched, and I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with them. I can imagine them together, matted and framed, if that is even possible. I can also see using them one by one in individual projects. So that all remains to be seen. For now, I'll just bask in this stage of completion.
