I’m delighted to have had another photo of a finished filling stitch sampler sent to me, this time by Billy Portch of NZ. Stitched in pearl cotton on richly coloured 32 count linen, it’s simply gorgeous!
Billy had this to say of it, “I usually hate doing samplers but enjoyed doing this one and had fun working on an untraditional colour!” She also said that it was about 6 weeks work.
Thanks so much for sharing it with me, Billy, and allowing me to share it here, also.
New Zealanders seem to be leading the charge with their finishes of this project from Hardanger Filling Stitches. I’m very impressed, because the book didn’t arrive in New Zealand until around March or April. Has anyone else finished and would like to share a photo of their sampler so that we can celebrate your achievement also?
Wow! That is spectacular, isn’t it!
The colour is so striking!
