This is fun and it is forcing me to experiment with open canvas, different arrangements of stitches and different arrangements of threads. I think that John Waddell's color and thread selection instructions for his Kimono class through the Shining Needle Society got me started. This is a more limited color scheme than my kimono but I am selecting both the threads and the stitches as I go along.Needlewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118751491073036949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35748168.post-51650223578458166192012-03-02T20:13:06.017-06:002012-03-02T20:13:06.017-06:00These 2 blocks look superb.

It's fascinating to see them side-by-dise like that and will make your sampler really interesting I think. Instead of being something to view as a whole, having a mix of "styles" like that will make it something to examine and really look at.<br /><br />I doubt that I would have thought to do that, but seeing your blocks, has made me re-think my approach. Thanks for sharing your work!<br />Jocelyn in NZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35748168.post-13519904809217209672012-02-28T20:30:42.027-06:002012-02-28T20:30:42.027-06:00It has been fun to work on.It has been fun to work on.Needlewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118751491073036949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35748168.post-47004095709124532262012-02-28T11:44:26.954-06:002012-02-28T11:44:26.954-06:00Wow!
