Yesterday afternoon was spent 'sample sorting'. There were one or two samples which needed to be placed into cloth sample books and the others are samples from the current class 'embroidery school'. I have so many samples now I could open a shop.....but I'm not going to.
The little framed pieces are stitch samples for a 'stitch ledger' which is in progress in class. They are tiny, three inches square including the fabric frames. Each of them is one embroidery stitch, some explored more than others. The labels hold the name of the stitch and the thread used to embroider them. This little stitch ledger is going to be a wonderful, invaluable resource by the time it's finished.
