| Random Thoughts The Drawn Thread NPI silks on Summer Khaki linen |
Here are some closeups I took of some of my favorite parts! (Click to embiggen.)
I made a few modifications to the chart. First, I stitched my initials in blue wherever they appeared. I wish I'd done my middle initial as well, but I honestly didn't think of it until I got to my first initial.
I also changed both of the houses on the sampler so that they look like places I've lived. I only changed the colors on the middle house so it looks like the place I grew up (by the tree below).
I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and it was so fun to stitch! Next year our EGA chapter project is Toccata I, so expect to see more Drawn Thread in the coming year! =)

I want to do Tocatta, too! A few of the Hoosier Stitchers group I belong to did this one as a SAL a couple years ago. It is gorgeous too!

I love it! Your changes were a really great way to personalize the design. And now, I want to stitch it! lol!! (I want to stitch everything!!)
Beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, fabulous--there aren't enough superlatives for this piece! I adore it! It looks as though you've finished it as a runner. Are you planning on having it framed?
Heather your Random Thoughts is simply gorgeous . I love your special personalizations. Yes tocatto should be winging its way to you in the next few days. Hope you are enjoying the season. Mel
Such a lovely finish, Heather!! Love studying each little detail in this one :)

Gorgeous, well done you! I love the little changes especially the houses. There's so much to see on this sampler, thanks for the close-ups.
So so so gorgeous!!! It's a wonderful piece and I LOVE the personalization you did to it. Good job!! :)
The acorn, the acorn!! Eeeee I just love little things like that! I think most of all I like that little thread bobbin charm. Did you wrap it in your own floss or was it a lucky happenstance that it matched the rest of the sampler? Your little personal touches are great! It makes such a special piece special-er. :D
Congratulations, it's stunning
