Challenging us to get playful and messy within the supposed neatness of embroidery, Rebecca Ringquist, a Portland, Oregon based artist, designer, educator, and author, returns with an all-new embroidery design. In her fourth sampler class, Rebecca shares some of the history of embroidery as we stitch along on her Schoolhouse Sampler. She begins by teaching seven basic stitches, showing variations on stitches from previous classes and new stitches done in pattern squares, borders, letters and numbers. Choose your own adventure in color and pattern making this Schoolhouse Sampler as messy or as tidy as you please.

Lovely work! I think there's a nice display of fun colours and ways to decorate with stitches. :)

While there weren't as many stitches covered in this sampler compared to the previous Dropcloth samplers I've done, this one was extra dynamic and there are so many patterns and chances to get creative. I can't get enough of Rebecca's classes. This one was a blast.
