Mystery Sampler Progress



At our last stitchery guild meeting we received the next installment for this great mystery sampler that one of our wonderful and talented members has designed. The section with the 3 small designs are stitched using the Squared Herringbone Stitch.  I stitched the hearts with a metallic thread using a Satin Stitch with 2 rows of wheat sheaves. The 2 toned green design is a Star Motif with satin stitches. I'm really enjoying this years guild program and especially seeing everyone else's progress and choices of colours.

  2. It's good to see this embroidery again. Never tried the squared herringbone, maybe I try it when the herringbone is stitch of the week at TAST.
