Daisychain Sampler "K"
January 5, 2012 K is my favorite letter. I mean of all time. Before I was married my initials were K.K. Now I'm K.C. ... with my very own imaginary "Sunshine Band" all you 80s people ;).
I know it would have been expected for me to stitch it up in pink, but since E & J - the adjoining letters - are already pink, I just went with what color was needed here.
Light moss green. :)
I L.O.V.E. doing this stitch - long & short stitch. It takes a little bit to start seeing the texture.
But once you get going, it is the COOLEST thing.
Just to give you a scale reference ... told ya I like little!
I love using stitches to create texture.
Progress Report ...
I am one happy stitcher. :)

Another wonderful letter - I love watching the development of this sampler!
looks fabulous...and that is a very fancy K!
Your sampler is absolutely beautiful. Stunning, another commenter said. WOW!
Looking good K !!! :)
Oh my goodness.....I love the "K". It is my favorite letter too. My daughter Kate loves it as well and her firstborn is due March 17th and she is naming him Lukas....yes with a "K". I think I am seeing a pattern here. Happy New Year.
Beautiful.
I'm rather partial to K's, as well. ;)
Do a little dance....make a little love...get down tonight! Get down tonight!
That is all your fault for mentioning K.C. and the Sunshine Band! ;p
looking gorgeous!
I would be happy too, if I had done such beautiful work!!
you are one TALENTED stitcher...it looks amazing!
So pretty!
Your work is fantastic, just found your blog recently and love it! You are very inspiring!
That's a gorgeous K! The whole sampler is looking just beautiful. Makes me wish I had the patience for hand sewing.
That K is so neat. You are a superstar stitcher! They all look so great together, you must be so happy with them.
It's looking beautiful!
Another beautiful letter! I have never seen this stitch before!! I am determined to get back to my embroidery this year! Your work is just perfection,love that color also.
K is def my favorite letter! :-)
Your stitching is just amazing! I feel like an amateur, but now I have something to aspire to!
This is all your fault...I have seen yours and I have had to buy the pattern! Don't know when I am going to start it though....sigh. Linda x
I just joined your site and moved it to the top of my list. I have a daughter Michaela that we all call KK, and a daughter Casey that we write KC so............
It is stunning. Enough said : )
Friggin amazing stitcher!!! Im so impressed at those skills! Just popping in to say hello. I love reading your blog every time you post but all over christmas I've been too ill to get my brain to function! Lots of love xo
that is one seriously gorgeous "K", girl ;) xo amy
This is just gorgeous....but every time I look at the "a", it reminds me of a flower and a worm. I'd love it more if the flower part were outlined in the "worm" (green) color to join them, and look like a single letter instead of two separate entities. I know...its just me.
Oh, what gorgeous, tiny work! Love it!
I love the modifications you've made to the sampler -- this is more up my alley than Alicia's (but, in general, I *love* her style!). Love your background fabric and your floss colors. So far, the "C" is my favorite :-). I like how you transferred the design -- I generally use a Micron, as well, but had never thought about just making dots rather than a solid line -- genius!
