sampler stitch-along with cloud craft

I love a good embroidery sampler. So does Nicole from Cloud Craft, so I was delighted when she asked me to design one for the Cloud Craft website. Not only that, we wanted this to be a way to try something new or show off your favorite stitches. You can learn and practice 13 stitches with this sampler and there are full instructions for each stitch.

AND, there's a stitch-along on Instagram that just started! Two petal shapes per week for six weeks.

The version of the sampler that I stitched is based loosely off of the Cloud Craft logo, but those shapes are common in quilting (known as the orange peel design) and sashiko (known here as the seven treasures pattern). Included in the free pattern download there are 3 other designs that use this same shape but in different arrangements. I honestly love them all!

I also had the pleasure of making a video to go along with this. It's a big one, but it shows the whole sampler coming together.

You can make this with your favorite supplies, but there's also a kit so you can buy everything you need to get started right away! Find the pattern and stitching details at Cloud Craft.
