Years ago, I started a embroidery stitch sampler, but never completed it. I got stuck on a square and the project was soon abandoned. But my love for embroidery still lives on. I think of stitching as drawing with thread… it’s just so darn cute! At least, that’s the style I gravitate towards.
This past week, I’ve finally gotten around to dusting off my incomplete sampler after signing up for a class with Amy Powers at Big Picture Classes – Happy Go Lucky Stitchalong!
I was able to get past the square of my puppy’s face, then added a few more squares. It’ll still be a slow going project since I’m a slow stitcher, but I’m happy to have started up again. Suddenly, I have all these ideas for stitching my drawings on things.
Do you like to embroider and stitch in your creative endeavors?

Ooooh great idea to stitch your drawings!
I’m starting a project with a friend who is a wonderful artist – he’s going to draw large scale images onto fabric with erasable pens so that I can stitch them. I can’t wait! Am very excited about the first one which is going to be a surprise!
Cool idea! I used to be sooo into stitching. Haven’t felt the bug lately, which is unfortunate since I need to stitch up some samples for new patterns. :-/
I joined this spring TAST- stitch challenge but due personal reasons have had few months break
But I think it’s better not to force stitching as it’s more enjoyable when it comes with natural flow. Love your sampler…
LOVE this- it’s like little stitch-y doodles! (and will NOT add this to my “wow, cool project, maybe try it someday?” mental list becaue for the summer I’m banning myself from adding anything else to that pile…)
