LJT Blackwork & flower sampler 5

28th Sep 2022

Part 5 and this week it is part of the motif from the larger middle section, but just the top half. A blue line, shown on the Border chart, acts as a guide line for this part of the design.

Hope you enjoy it and happy stitching.

LJT Blackwork and flower sampler 1

30th Aug 2022

The start today of the first motif for my new sampler which I hope we are all going to love. The borders were added to last week's Blog page and all of the details for threads and fabric. Each week I will show just the motif with the blackwork surround, which will make it also easy to stitch up for a card. Hope this will suit everyone.

Happy stitching and I hope you all have a pleasant week.

As we have had a large number of new stitchers joining our lovely LesleyTeare group.

I thought we would return to a sampler that incorporates some blackwork, especially for stitchers where this lovely technique might be new for them. It's a favourite style for me and I always think it is like taking 'a backstitch for a walk'

12 sections for us to enjoy over the coming weeks with the central panel worked...

LJT 2022 Summer sampler 1

21st Jun 2022

The first motif is a pretty butterflly, with small decoratve blackwork patterns to work on the wings set amongst a couple of simple flowers. I have chosen to show the chart within its circle, plus the two butterflies and two flower heads in the corners as this way the design will also make a lovely picture for a card. 

I hope you all have lovely week with plenty of stitching and that you will enjoy the start of my new project.
