Finished sampler and class

Tonight is my embroidery class! I am all set. I have my sampler:

I have other examples of embroidery to show them:

(not shown: Children’s Book Quilt embroideries, Saturation, a couple more cross-stitch pieces, as well as some pictures of pieces I found online)

All but one of the pieces above are by me; the tea towel was a flea market find.

I have a blog post on the Sew-Op’s blog with informative and inspiring links.

I have a box of floss:

I have handouts!

Incidentally, I wound all that floss by hand, half a skein per bobbin. At some point I decided to unwind and halve a whole bunch of skeins at once, thinking I might like it better if I could just wind and wind and wind. I almost didn’t want to wind any of it because it was such a pretty installation art piece:

Wish me luck!

P.S. Happy birthday, Mom!
