I Love You Sampler

Learn how to finish your work as a quilted wall-hanging instead of framing it and see how easy it is to work it out with your own fabrics and laces! The bands of the alphabet are separated by bands of drawn thread, each one of increasing size and beauty! This project will delight you with various stitches, and the colors of the silks and fabric compliment the sentiment. At the back of this leaflet, you’ll find a thorough step-by-step finishing guide with color photographs to help you finish this sampler and any others, with fabric and a sewing machine. Once you’ve learned this lovely technique, you will be able to finish any of your flat projects this way!
