A few samples were created during the initial, early stages of ''studies in stitch''. I'm now beginning to give them a little attention starting with the cutwork. I think there are only three of these in total, three pieces of cloth with cutwork samples worked on them but they should still make a good ''swatch book'' when they are titivated.
If you are new here you can see more swatch books here and here then you will have an idea of what I mean.
A bound edge has been added to this one with buttonhole lace and sequins to secure and embellish. The reverse is getting attention too.....sequins to follow there
Embellishing the reverse of pieces, samples has become important to me. I see it as giving recognition to the work which is visible there, the knots, the working threads because where would we be without those.
