Chain Chain Chain!
Through somewhat of a coincidence, both of this month's subscriptions focus on chain stitches. The Stitch of the Month sampler explores a few variations on this simple stitch, and the Colorburst subscription has circles of chain around the border. Of course, with that one, you could choose NOT to do that part as chain stitch. They could be filled-in ovals of satin stitch, or tiny little bunches of french knots, or tiny back stitches, or, or, or.....
You can see my mom's version up top (along with a few other upcoming colorbursts out on her clothesline in Michigan), and my (yet to be finished version) in my messy studio in Brooklyn.
This version (below) of the Chain Stitch Sampler is from Sherie on Instagram. I am amazed (AMAZED!) at how many of you have stitched the text onto these samplers. It looks so good!
Finally- Thank you to everyone who ordered samplers and subscriptions during our annual summer sale. There are lots of new subscribers in the mix now (welcome!)
Stitch of the Month Subscriptions shipped out this morning. Colorburst Subscriptions will mail out tomorrow (I had to print more after that summer sale added a ton of new stitchers!).
Get your needles ready- and send me your pictures! #dropclothsamplers
