I am doing Sharon b's Take a stitch Tuesday and havent managed to do the first stitch yet but have had a play around with the buttonhole stitch. I have cut up a heap of felt and am eventually going to make a small fabric book of stitches. This is my first attempt, we will see how much more I manage to do. For those purists who must have everything even and equal, dont look, I would rather do mine free style and have fun.I use ordinary buttonhole a lot just to bind edges but dont do wavy lines much so this was me trying.I think Sharon would like me to put her stuff in links but I havent a clue how to do that, it is enough that I have my other blog in links and that took me forever to do. I even forgot I had signed up for this and had to go and look to see what I was supposed to be doing, cant remember my password or user name either, so I may be doing this on my own!!
Cooler today, We have been doing things around the house, I have a horse show tomorrow, our Welsh Youngstock show and i have to drive the float with ponies I think. I never look foreward to that.
Last night we went to the rotary Art Show and I bought a painting, not very expensive and I love it, all textile looking called "The girls" I collect it next Sunday, Where to hang it? Not sure on my crowded walls.

I liked your sampler! The colors are so bright. :o) I'm not, for the most part, a "rigid sampler" kind of gal, either.
Love your sampler, Penny! You've created very interesting negative shapes with your stitching. Great impact!
I enjoy your freehand style. I love the different look that this variegated gives to the stitches.

I like the experimental nature of this and the cheerful colours :)
