I have managed to finish the stitch for this week, it was buttonhole stitch and I have always loved that stitch and had lots of fun making the little sampler. I did herringbone the first week but did not make a very good job of it, so I will have to re-do it. The timetable that we are following is realistic as you have a new stitch for each of three weeks and then the fourth week is a catch up week.
There are a few new blogs that I am finding very inspiring and I check them very regularly, one is Spirit Cloth; I find her work awe-inspiring and I am amazed how much she gets done each day. The other one is Playing with Needles, I really likes how she loves to experiment with different things to get her desired effect. These are both very beautiful blogs.
Pen is on the move this week. Tomorrow she leaves Sudan and is going to spend some time with Ses, Arthi and Riya in Cambodia before starting her job in Liberia. The four of them should have a wonderful time together, seeing new things and sharing experiences. I must admit I am a little envious of them, I would love to there as well.

Pretty sampler. It has the feel of a wonderful overgrown backyard garden. Now that you mention it, I can’t think of how to start the buttonhole stitch either!!!
Hi Sandra. Thanks for your recent comments on my blog, and yes that is my daughter who took herself to Africa,at nineteen years old, mainly Kenya and Tanzania which she loved. Good luck to your daughter with her latest travels. I am behind with my Take a Stitch challenge, but I can see you’ve been busy. It looks great!
Sandra,
Last week when I was “teaching” at the Textile Museum a woman asked for a buttonhole lesson…I couldn’t remember how to start it either…very embarrassing, the poor woman finally figured it out on her own. Thanks for mentioning my blog!
Buttonhole is one of my favourite stitches.
hey….
