The sampler is a Judy Whitman design based on American quilts, I stitched it on baby pink 28c Jobelan in DMC threads in lilacs, mauves and peppermint green, I am pleased how it is looking. Once the date is stitched on it, I intend to make it into a quilted wall hanging and have decided to use Cath Kidston Ballerina fabric. The reason I used DMC for this project was so I could make a wall hanging and not have to worry when it needed to be washed.
Now onto October goals, I am delighted to announce that I acheived every single goal this month....
