This is where I’ll collect all the posts on developing an embroidered spot sampler, so that you have easy access to each post, and so that they can be viewed in order. You’ll find a link to this post (the index for the spot sampler project) under Tips & Techniques, too. If you haven’t visited my Tips & Techniques page, you might want to check it out. That’s where I list articles on Needle ‘n Thread that either teach a specific technique, or that index various series of articles on a whole project.
Eventually, I’ll change the picture of my embroidered sampler, as I make some more progress on it! (Progress has been s-l-o-w as that proverbial sticky molasses in the dead of winter! But I’m still ahead of my students, so I’m glad of that!)
So far in this series we have the following posts:
Coming up next in this series, I’ll write about the initial stitching on the sampler, which, ironically, is initials. I’ll include resources for initials online, and hopefully, I’ll be able to post a few PDFs at some point, too. I’ll also be include other sources that I’m using particularly for the development of this sampler, so that you can have them at your fingertips, too. Some are online, some are books. But so far, I think you can manage pretty much everything on the sampler using online sources. Anything that I can’t find online, I’ll develop into tutorials here.
If you’d like to post pictures of your projects as they progress, you’re welcome to post photos in the Needle ‘n Thread Group on Flickr, or to include a link to your own website, blog, or photo-sharing site in the comments section. I don’t check in on Flickr as much as I would like, so if you do post something, feel free to leave a comment to let us know!
For questions, comments, and suggestions on spot sampler development, feel free to use the comment forms on any of the spot sampler posts or to drop me an e-mail!
