Things are progressing pretty well with the sampler.
Some of these will certainly be added to my stitching "vocab".
I love...
up & down blanket stitch
pekinese stitch
feather stitch
chevron stitch
& open cretan stitch
with practice I think I'll like...
cable chain
knotted buttonhole
This certainly has been slow going. I was unpicking lots & then of course realised that isn't really the aim of the exercise. This isn't about perfect it's about practice.
