I added a new circle to my sampler in the top right-hand corner and stitched it using variegated fine silk thread. I varied the stitch size a little as I progressed around the circle to add a bit of extra interest.
It was fun to stitch. You may be able to see, I have marked a square outline onto my background fabric which I want to stay within so that I can create the same sized picture as I did for my previous sampler.
I am not sure whether to stitch this marked square or not.... I think I may stitch it with stem stitch which is the stitch that I used to edge all the little squares on the previous picture. I have nearly added enough stitches to the circles sampler to make another picture.... I'm looking forward to adding it to my sewing room wall!
Ohhh I really like this stitch, so pretty and the thread you used is beautiful. Well done on another great addition to this piece.

I know the chain stitch, and it looks nice the way you did it. I like your stitchery, it reminds me of a book with different pages of different stitches in it that I saw somewhere.

Beautiful stitching, this is such an interesting piece. I do like the idea of a line of stitching around it to contain the circles and it will look lovely with your previous piece. Happy Sunday Christine!
