Straight stitch sampler

Straight stitch sampler,
originally uploaded by Pinyon Creek Stitchin'.

I haven't posted in a bit, so I thought I better show a little bit of what i've been up to!

I am taking Sharon Boggon's class...which is WONDERFUL....and she suggests making a sampler of each stitch and its variations. Soooo, here is the beginning of my straight stitch sampler! Long way to go, has a bunch of imperfections, but it really helps to be able to see a whole row of the stitches in another place besides a block! I actually have been struggling a bit with working on the Aida cloth...i'm used to regular fabric now for my stitching, but I thought this would be a good way for me to practice. Just need to work out those leaves now! ;-)
