Tina’s finished silk sampler

A couple of weeks after Tina showed me (and all of us) her progress on the Frisian Whitework Silk Sampler, she has now completed it and it is magnificent!

Tina Vernor silk sampler

Here’s what Tina had to say about it:

I am sitting here looking at this finished piece and I am more than thrilled with how it turned out and everyone who has seen it has been so impressed. The colors immediately caught my eye when I saw it come across my newsfeed on Facebook last fall and I stopped what I was doing and placed my order. I had never done any Frisian Whitework but this came with your videos and I was pretty sure I would be able to figure it out. Your kit arrived quickly from Australia and I started reading directions and watching your very well produced videos. The fabric dying was a great adventure and I actually went through the tea dying process twice to get a little richer color for the beautiful Gumnut Silks. For anyone who is tempted by this piece you can assure them if they can count they won’t have any problems. Your videos covered every detail from start to finish and you always responded quickly to my email questions (which mainly had to do with my password). Thank you for designing such a stunning project and making it available to the stitching community.

Tina stitched this using the instructions and supplies from my Frisian Whitework Silk Sampler Self-Paced Video Online Course. The instructions are also available in my book Frisian Whitework and I have supplies packs with all the supplies, available on my website.

    That is a very fine piece of work! And so kind of her to let you share it with us!

    Yes, I always love it when people give me permission to share their work. I’m sure it can be an encouragement to others who are working on the same piece or gathering up the courage to do so.
