embroidery sampler

well, I am supposed to teach a Beginning Embroidery class next Saturday at Los Poblanos in ABQ. I get nervous preparing to teach something I have not taught before, but, I figure that since I do it for myself all the time, why not share with others what I have learned......so.....

Below is the "sampler" that I have put together for the class - what do you think?
I have tried to incorporate many of the stitches that I always use and show that it is so much easier to do some pretty complicated things than it might look. Most of the detail comes from putting together some very simple stitches in repeats and bunches.....


There is space to cross-stitch an initial in the center of the lavender square......and on the back, we will stitch our names and the date. I hope that the class is fun for everyone. If you are close to ABQ, just email nancy@lospoblanos.com and she can give you all the info.

Love to all of you....
