Filed under: A Spring Sampler, Brandywine Chapter, Embroidery Guild of America
At the end of October, we had a 4-hour workshop for A Spring Sampler with members from my EGA Brandywine Chapter.
Since it had been a while since I designed and stitched the piece, I decided I better stitch along with them. So, I selected threads from my stash and decided to make it less wide than the original. The overdyed thread, Gloriana Cinnamon 151, has much less variation than I expected, but I am interested in finding out how it’ll look. So far, I like it.
Earlier today, we had a second workshop.
Brenda is coming along nicely on hers (https://brendasneedlepointstudio.blogspot.com/2024/01/spring-sampler-updated-1624.html). She’s got Bands 7 through 17 done in the original width. Unfortunately, Brenda couldn’t join us today, but I do hope we’ll both make it to our EGA Brandywine Quarterly meeting on January 18th (weather permitting).
Patrick’s using an overdyed thread with quite a few colors, and it’s turning out great. The holidays got in the way for others in the group. Hopefully, today, they got back on track.

The color is gorgeous. Proof that a monochromatic scheme works just fine.
In making a correction to my blog, the link has changed. It’s now:

Thanks for making the reference.
