Anne's A Needleworker's Sampler Huswif (a class piece) wins a ribbon!

I've been busy this week working on a new model, a sampler, and also getting kits ready for upcoming classes in Michigan. Yesterday I cut lots and lots of silk threads and dupioni silk for A Needleworker's Sampler Huswif. This is one of my most popular classes.

A Needleworker's Sampler Huswif uses 27 different stitches. It can be made into a huswif or framed as a sampler. It can be made into a huswif or framed as a sampler.

It’s always great to get photos from stitchers who have been in a class. Here are a few photos of A Needleworker’s Sampler Huswif finished both ways.

Anne C. from Virginia took the class with the Loudoun County Sampler Guild in Leesburg. She finished the project as a huswif. Last year Anne entered her pieces at the Woodlawn Needlework exhibit in Alexandria, Virginia and won a ribbon. Congratuations, Anne!

Anne M. of Massachusetts took the class with the Mayflower Sampler Guild in Duxbury. She framed her sampler. Here it is along with her needlebook.

Thank you, Anne and Anne, for sharing photos of your beautiful work! Hopefully, you two will inspire others to complete their projects and send me photos.

A Needleworker's Sampler Huswif is available only as a teaching project. You can see the inside of the huswif and needlebook, and also read a description of the project here.
