I started a stitch sampler to practice the multitude of embroidery stitches I enjoy pinning from Pinterest. I started with some of the "straight line" stitches and that was kind of all over the place and since I am doing the TAST this year, I was inspired to work solely on individual stitches.

Bonnet Stitch – TAST 2016
I discovered Sharon B's Pintangle blog and her Take A Stitch Tuesday {TAST} Challenge. I've played around with embroidery off and on over the years.

Not too many of them have patterns that are easy to find, much less free {read - Yeah I'm cheap} I don't have a little tike at home, but I wanted to try making one. I used Schachenmayr Original Catania… Continue reading Panama Hats for the Summer

Haven't… Continue reading Luck of the Irish Happy St. Patrick’s Day
