Victorian Sampler



Now that my Sister, Cindi, has received her present, I can post a pic of "Cottage Garden." This was my first attempt at drawn thread and specialty stitches. Don't look too close!

I had never worked with Perle Cotton or Silk thread before. I can't say that I'm crazy about the Perle, but the silk thread is really nice to work with. It works easily, and doesn't fray badly.

The worst part was the "thatching" on the roof. I just don't do "diagonal" stitching very well. Other than that, it was fun!
Enjoy!
