When it is available, I will stitch using colors from the front. Those are more restful to my eye. Thank you for the Flosstube videos.

As someone who is just starting to stitch samplers and as a quilter also, I think I would stitch the back colors and treat this as a stand alone sampler on a wall of my home. The girl chose the bright colors to make her happy while she stitched and I would want to honor her choices in my reproduction of her work ❤️

When I saw the post on Facebook, I was drawn to the front color palette. That most decidedly changed when you showed the sampler in this Flosstube. I love the vibrant colors on the back! As I am currently stitching Florence Mary Dickinson and then seeing this Flosstube, I realize that my tastes are definitely in the range of vibrant colors. I recognize now that several other samplers in my collection also have vivid colors.

I love the sampler with the birds, and plan to stitch it with the softer colors on the front of the sampler.

Both look good. My immediate impulse is to say front because I am not sure how the brights would look when completed. I like both muted and bright colors in what I stitch.
@jerryriley6146 ай бұрын
My preference would be to stitch the softer front of the sampler.

Dear Nicola, I would stitch the front colors of Jessie. It is just stunning and I see Kim Goldman loving it! I am really looking forward to your stitch along. The new colors for 100/3 are just lovely. What a wonderful way to share the joy of stitching and teach new techniques. I would love to learn reversible stitching in more detail. Have a lovely week. Hugs, Teresa

I plan to stitch this sampler using the colors from the BACK. I love to be surrounded by bright colors. What’s good as seen by the original stitcher is great for me.
@marleenoceanbreeze65106 ай бұрын
That sampler is pretty front and back. You see many samplers in muted tones, so I'd stitch it in the bright back colours. The spanish sampler currently being charted looks wonderful. Take care, and happy stitching.

As another person just getting into stitching samplers, I am thrilled at the thought of your stitch along of the beautiful Spanish sampler. With no LNS- my skills are acquired through trial and error so Mrs Parkman’s Academy will be such a helpful guide. If you have any suggested tutorials for newbies, Nicola, I’d love to know of them. Thank you.

Love your Flosstube. I’m leaning to the colors on the back. I most likely would stitch with DMC. Hopefully that will be included on the chart like you usually do. It would be great if the shop that will have the exclusive would offer Lugana as a choice. Just a thought xxx

I love the actual colors of samplers. So i would definitely stitch the back of the sampler. I wish you would always give a color conversion of the back of samplers, but i know it's a lot of work and sometimes the back of a work is not accessible. Oh, that band sampler is so beautiful. I've been hesitant to start a band sampler since i stitch with qsnaps, etc. I would be afraid my work would suffer from constant movement of my qsnaps. Thank you for the lovely video as always! Have a great week.

Lovely floss tube! I have Martha Walmsly and Sarah Milthorpe in the wings waiting until I complete Sarah Spencer so they can be stitched. ( I am a painfully slow stitcher ) . However, I don’t think I can resist Jesse!! She needs to be included! I would work her in the muted colors. I love the reversible sampler you completed and that you have the back sealed. I hope you’ve included your rationale so that 100 years from now, you will make the owner smile!

I so agree with one of the comments below (nancyevans7609). I am a beginner stitcher , but have been a quilter for decades and color is important , although I also seem to love the samplers stitched in just one color, I found when I see them. But when there are a lot of colors I love the original ones, let there be color! So my choice would be the back, those were the colors chosen by the maker of the original sampler. Thank you for another lovely flosstube, enjoyed it!
