Having made the new little russian dolls and using different stitches I have been trying to think of different ways to make a sampler. This was one solution I have found. I sponge printed little blocks of colour onto quaker cloth and then using tonal threads I tried out some stitches that I wouldn't normally use on a sampler. Some of the stitches I tried included Velvet Stitch, Bullion Knots, Picots and Buttonhole Bars. I particularly liked the Buttonhole Bars and the Brick Stitch, all the stitches could be used in many ways and thinking about how to use them is a challenge. I want to use more stitches in my work, I want to use the interesting textures that they make in a creative way. I don't think a sampler has to be just a band sampler or a victorian style sampler I think it can be different and I would like to find new ways to do this.
