itibit sampler is finished!

The itibits of stitching are complete!
I had great fun doing this and it was amazing
how many ideas for one inch squares popped into my head.  
Now I am considering the Counting My Blessings Stitch-Along.
One hundred is a lot of squares.
I wonder if I give myself a year to complete it, if I will?
Or maybe the key is to stitch a square a day?
As with this project, some days I stitched 2 or 3 squares
and other days none.

I'm itching to stitch some vintage dish towels...
dancing forks & knives
 tomatoes with eye lashes
like these
I'm thinking redwork.

  1. Oh Jody!

    I'm so glad you posted this! Your sampler is beautiful and you know it really is a unique treasure. It tells a story that is yours. Maybe it can be a "point and tell" heirloom of special stories you pass on to others.

    Thank you for sharing all your patient stitching with us!

  6. Just beautiful! I bought a towel and some Aunt Martha iron-ons last weekend at a quilt shop hop. I picked a pattern with fruit; I love the vintage look.

  8. Great job on the sampler! There are so many cute ones, but I think my favorite is the robin. If you go for the redwork dish towels check out the book Redwork from the Workbasket by Rebecca Kemp. I just spied this book at the bookstore the other day...looks fabulous!

    I am also drawn to redwork.
    I bought a whole bunch of red floss...and now I have used it on other things.

  10. Love it. The robin, the robin's nest, and the meadowlark are my favorites. A good reminder of spring.

  11. Embroidery is something I can not get the hang of. I love it, just can't do it worth a darn. I love your blog, I was raised on a farm, it's a good life.
