Charlotte Lyons Josie's Garden Embroidery Sampler

I've been working on this sampler for the last couple of days while I am staying in Portland. I really should wait until I press it to show, but I might never get around to it. You can buy your own sampler here or here is her blog.

Square Inchie 19 Amanita Mushroom and Fiddlehead Fern

I worked on my sampler a lot yesterday, caught up on my squares and also worked on the applique in the middle. I don't know if you all will like what I did with my applique, but I do. I'll show you in a few days.

Inch 8: some Bling

So Mondays inch, I moved to the corner of my sampler and stitched down a piece of coffee died lace and a pink crystal button. Hot pink chainstitch around the edge.
