Kelly's New Sampler, Stumpwork, naturally!

Have you seen my new Sampler?

Below is the painted canvas.

Canvas KCA 021-18

Just wait 'til you see the Dimensional stitching!

 I have published a 20 page Stumpwork Work-book for the Sampler.   

It is designed so you can see and learn the various

dimensional techniques.  No, not a Traditional Stitch Guide.

It shows the steps to create the dimensional elements, and it also has

some thread suggestions.  Also, there are 4 pages of Ribbon-work 
techniques and diagrams.  
As far as background stitches...choose what suits.  
Copy my stitches, or pick your own. Have Fun! PLAY! 

This guy gives new meaning to the term a Snail's Pace!

And Don't you just Love the Koi?  He is Fun and magnificent!

Here are the same images stitched on my Gigantic Stumpwork Sampler:

This picture reminds me that I need to add the little Seed beads to Blue Snails feelers!

Some Lucsious Fruit!  At right is the Strawberry on the large Sampler.

A Fabulous Basket!  

Now comes the fun task of filling my Basket with goodies!

I think this may have to be a little Red Riding Hood Basket filled for Grandma?

Hum?  Decisions, decisions!

On a previous canvas I created a similar Basket and filled it with Stitching tools:

This Stitching Basket is from my Classic Stitching Santa.

(KCN S 100 F, available with Stitch Guide)

Don't you just love the Silver Stork Scissors?

More Berries and some Sweet Peas in a Pod!

This Berry/Peapod is actually taken from a different Sampler I did.

This Bees Skep is also taken from the same Sampler.

For the new Sampler, I am thinking of a different twist...'The Bees will be stitched the same,

but I am thinking of Needleweaving the Bees Skep, naturally.

I'll post a pic when that is done!!!!

In case some of you are curious about the Big Sampler,

Here is a Picture:

There is no painted canvas here.  

I just started stitching, and this is what Grew!

I will leave you with one Fantastic Close-up shot:

I just LOVE this Berry Vine!

And on that Note,

HAPPY STITCHING, all!
