The robin and the schoolhouse...

I had fun finishing up the Schoolhouse Sampler this week, after focusing on the ABCs at first.  The letters are done in DMC 4066, Amazon Moss, my new favorite variegated floss.  I added other colors for the flower buds, schoolhouse, and moon and stars.


Meanwhile, Robin Lane got a border and a small piece of a pink bird print for the backing.   My plan for today's slow stitching is to get the layers together with a little machine quilting, and then hand-stitch the binding!


Linking up with all the slow stitchers at Kathy's Quilts today!

Very nice embroideries Diann! That moss floss is really striking - another one I'll add to my "look for" list. I'm in love with your robin.
