Daisychain sampler 'H'

Right so next is 'H', how do I feel about 'H'? Yes it's satin stitch, it's edged so hopefully will make it look neater, so could practice on this then go back to 'E'.  

I've back stitched again first, covering with satin stitch then will back stitch again in pale blue.

So I'm going home tomorrow, so will I get much time to carry on?! No, but when I get back into it should get a bit more done!

Daisychain sampler 'G'

Next is 'G', lots and lots of colonial knots. What do you think? Mastered these? About half way round my brain went to sleep and couldn't remember if it was looping over or under the second time, tried both, it's over!

Daisychain sampler 'F'

Lets go to 'F'! More stem stitch, don't think I'm too great at this, but hey it's done. 

Daisychain sampler 'B'

Now for 'B', stem stitch. I gave the instructions on this another read, think it's looking ok, wasn't sure on turning corners. Just for the second colour to do, I may leave this and get a lighter shade of teal when I get home. 

Where to next? 'E', more scary satin stitch or shall I skip it and go to 'F'? Decisions. .ok here's a picture of it so far.

Daisychain sampler 'A'

Next is 'A'! Lets attempt this scary satin stitch.

I back stitched the petal shapes first then covered each in satin stitch, (it's meant to make the edges nicer). 

More colonial knots for the centre and then chain stitch. Quite pleased with how this turned out actually!

Daisychain sampler 'C'

What's next?! 'C' obviously! Threaded back stitch in a beautiful blue, stem stitch, more lazy daisies and colonial knots in place of french knots. They have turned out much nicer than my last french knots. Just googled colonial knot how to, my internet connection was really bad, but finally got a page to load.

Daisychain sampler 'D'

Yes, I started with 'D', I know this probably seems wrong, but it seemed easier to start with a stitch I was comfortable with (back stitch) to give me the confidence to attempt the other letters. Especially when I've read how hard it is to make satin stitch look good, and needed to look up a colonial knot for 'A' too. Ok, so back stitch, lazy daisies and an edged satin stitch done, what's next?!
