I finally finished the flowery goodness on this Daisy Chain Sampler. The pattern is by Alicia Paulson.
I've stitched the letters from A to Z in the crewel wool that came with the kit. I had never embroidered with wool yarn and I really like the results. My satin stitch looks a lot better with the wool. The fluffiness of the yarn hides mistakes well.
This was a fun summer stitching project! 
Now we just need to fix and finish the walls in my sewing room so I can have a place to hang it when it is framed.

I fell hard for this sampler when I saw it on Alicia's blog. I immediately submitted my preorder for the kit and have been having a lot of fun stitching it since it arrived. There are quite a variety of stitches to try.
I had a little trouble with tension being a bit tight at first but then I switched to a small hoop as recommended; it worked like a charm.This is really a great summer stitching project.Also, if you need a refresher or are wanting to learn some new embroidery stitches, check out this site for some excellent tutorials. All of those beautiful pictures of interesting embroidery stitches make me want to embroider on everything in the house!
