Another Canvaswork Sampler
Canvaswork Spectacle Case Sampler
The Other Side Of The Spectacle Case Sampler
Strictly speaking, this isn’t one of mine. My mother stitched this, but she asked me to design it for her after she saw the stripy sampler.
It uses the same principle of plain soft embroidery cotton and matching Wildflowers and Watercolours threads. This time, though, instead of straight stripes, the stripes were V-shaped.
It was rather more complicated and time-consuming, but it must have been a success because it is still in use and I had to sneak it from her handbag for the photograph!
It did teach me, however, that designs should be planned with their final use in mind. This looked much better as a flat panel than it does as a spectacle case!
It is gorgeous. Well done to both of you. I adore the Caron Wildflowers and Watercolours threads. 🙂
Thanks for the nice comments on my blog. I’ll watch with interest as your Gold Work progresses.
What a wonderful design – colourful and geometric. It would look great in a bigger version on a wall somewhere…
