WIPW - Do you remember the Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler?

 Here is this week's Work In Progress Wednesday progress report.


Hexablooms

Ten more were made. The total is 330.



Birthday Gift

I wonder why almost all my friends and family members have their birthdays in spring!

Here is a simple bookmark I made for a little girl who loves cats. I added a small piece of polka dot ric-rac at the bottom. Does it look like a little bit of a cat's paw is sticking out?



Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler

Do you remember the Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler? 

I put this project on the back burner last year. I decided to add no more new stitches as there are already the first 300 stitches. 

To fill in the void, I added some extra stitches near those already sewn, for example, two more circles, one surrounded with #55 Tailor's Buttonhole Stitch and the other #135 Net Stitch across the circle.


This was in December 2024. 

Then, I shelved the project and wondered what to do as there were still blank areas here and there. By chance, I tripped upon a tube of blue sequins. Aha, I will sprinkle these over the surface to fill in bare areas.


I hope to have this sampler completed soon. 

We are now working on Sunday Stich School's 319th stitch and I haven't added a single one of the last 19 stitches on a sampler yet. A new sampler must be started!

The blue sequins look super! and I like the net stitch across the circle, good choice.
For the 'little girl that loves cats', great fun with the 'paw' sticking out the bottom.
Your newest 10 hexablooms are gorgeous together, perfect colors, pizzazz.

Another great week of hexagons! Have you started arranging them, or are you waiting until they are all finished? I know they will be fabulous all put together. The blue sequins give it some bling!

Eeek! 19 stitches behind! What a lovely orgy of a start you will have on the next stitch sampler!
