Done! I made my sampler into a 14" x 28" bolster pillow- a perfect companion to my Kaffe Fassett quilt. I learned so much with this project, but most importantly I gained so much confidence for doing embroidery. I've "graduated" to buying Sue Spargo materials to continue on. Thank you, Alex!
(had trouble uploading full shot of the pillow! kept cutting off the ends-sorry)

Do you mind sharing how you made them? I love the transformational imagery of butterflies.

butterflies. When Alex started this class I pulled it out and made a copy of a couple of the butterfly patterns on freezer paper.
Then I made raw edge applique in black kona cotton. I edge stitched in black thread 1.0 1.0 zig zag. The book has wonderful pictures
with lots on line drawn butterflies. She has line drawn pieces for doing in wool applique. I don't have any wool, so I just used black cotton.
The book only teaches one or two stitches. She says you can find the techniques everywhere on the internet. I just used what Alex
was teaching. HelenW

Make it your own embroidery or 2022 BOM??? How about both. Almost ready to start filling the applique shapes with embroidery stitches.
Thank you Alex. I would not know how to do the stitches if I had not been following your classes. You are a wonderful source of inspiration
and your life long learning philosophy is exactly how I feel. HelenW

I finished my first project and figured why not do it again. My first project is a pillow which I love. Now I’m working on some wool circles - keeping the circle them and laying it a bit. I am totally hooked. And I’ve spent way too much on fancy threads. But that’s ok. A girl need a diverse stash.

I have really enjoyed jumping into the world of hand embroidery! I am doing this years BOM also, and plan to use the skills I’m learning here to embellish that project! I think one of the most important things I have taken away from this class is the importance of using the correct needle size and type.
