As you might expect, I have lots of stitching to share! Last year, my PIC and I joined the Willow Tree Sampler Guild in Texas. They were doing a project from Betsy Morgan. The pattern was complimentary to the guild members. We love Betsy Morgan designs! The stitch-a-long started in March. Each month we received the pattern for a new block. The designs represented different countries or regions of the world. I did a pretty good job of keeping up. Two of my posts from last year explained more about this project (October 11 and April 30). Here are all 12 blocks:
The last block was dedicated to the state of Texas since that is where their guild is located. We will be having a zoom call in July to cover the finishing instructions. All of these pages will be assembled into a book.
This year, the guild is doing another project from Betsy. It was originally posted in Inspirations magazine a few years ago. It’s a band sampler called “Favourite Things.” We started last month, and each month will be stitching a band, for a total of eight bands. I have the first and second band stitched, but only the first band is included in the picture below. The open space on the far left is for a stumpwork flower. I’m not sure that I will do the stumpwork, but I kept the space open and will make that decision when we cross that bridge.
If you are interested in joining the Willow Tree Sampler Guild, you can find them on Facebook. Membership dues are $35 per year.
This weekend, I’m at the Needle Bling “Get Your Stitch On” retreat in Bloomington, MN. Getting a lot of stitching done so will have more to report soon!
