The Continuous Craft Show

What joy in showing off a recently finished craft! What relief in finding someone who can help you work out a crafting problem! Joy, relief, pride, grief - let's exhibit them all here as we share crafts in all forms. Food, paper, wool, glass, metal - whatever the medium, we can show our finished projects and our works in progress, as well as share advice and feedback.

Name:

“I’ve learned the camera well—the danger of it, the half-truths it can tell, but also the way it fastens us to our pasts, makes grand the unadorned moment.” - Letters from Storyville, December 1911

Suki's Sampler

For the girls' first birthdays, I like to make samplers with symbols from the pregnancy the year before. Here's Suki's, based on the same pattern as Grace's but with symbols unique to her.




It's all counted cross stitch on 28 count linen, the finished design is about 5 inches wide by 10 inches tall. Sorry not to write more but it's a very busy night!
