Just to catch up to where we are in the challenge…past the half-way mark in the year already! Sometimes it took a couple of tries before I felt I got it right. That was the case with Weaving; it took three versions before I sort of liked the results.

Anne asked the group to re-do one of the previous tags and send it off to her so she can post them on a map to show where everyone is from. I think she’s going to be overwhelmed with tags! I thought it would be fun to make a Stitch Sampler highlighting what I have learned so far. Some stitches, like bullion and pistil, I thought I would NEVER use again, but they’ve become two of my favorites now.
