Here are photos of the finished sampler ' Baby girl sampler', stitched by my sister Claire in Argentina.
The sampler was commissioned by a friend who wanted a simple pattern for a little girl with the following rhyme...
'Guardian angel from heaven so bright.
Tenderly guide me for I am thy child'
I usually start by a little ' idea' scribble on regular paper, then transfer my idea to graph paper where I can play a with the shapes... I know there are some really great computer programs out there that can handle that sort of work, but I still am partial to pen and paper.....
Next comes creating the design in my charting software, then choosing the colours.....
Thank you Claire for the beautiful photos of the embroidery !
The chart is available here :
