Boy, it feels like much longer, but the Yo Yo Rainbow stitchalong hosted by Rebecca Ringquist of Dropcloth Samplers, has been going on for just a month, and is now coming to a close. Along the way there have been periodic prompts over on Instagram....
- sharing our supplies
- our 'favorite stitch,' and like Rebecca, mine's the backstitch. Which is one reason this sampler has been perfect.... lots of backstitch!
- a selfie with our sampler. Yikes. But I played along, and since I'd just randomly found some Tony's Chocolonely (a stitchalong sponsor) chocolate bars, I included a peek of those too.
- a progress pic! At that point, I'd finished my circles and started filling around them and IN them, where besides the seed stitches, I added some chain stitches.
- the spot on our sampler that really spoke to us. I had a few, and they were where I'd let one color run into its neighbor just a bit. Kinda love it!
- the back side of our work. I'm not sure if this is considered messy or neat - maybe kind of in the middle??
- And finally, show our work in progress, which for me happens to be a completed sampler!
Again, I thoroughly enjoyed the Yo Yo Rainbow, especially with its collection of variegated rainbow threads, all size 8 perle cotton from Wonderfil Specialty Threads. I'm pretty sure I'd like to incorporate this finish into another project but not quite sure what yet!
