Happy Day stitching sampler...

I've had this Pam Garrison sampler for about 2 years so figured it was about time I embroidered it.


It came preprinted on white cotton and was lovely to sew. I usually use DMC stranded cottons for embroidery but thought I'd try out DMC Perle cotton #8 after reading Charlotte Lyons blog. I loved the fact it didn't need splitting and didn't tangle as bad. The colours available are gorgeous and so I was able to keep everything really bright and cheerful. 


Now I just need to decide what to do with it.  I think I'm favouring adding a patchwork border and making it up into a cushion.


If you want to try this yourself then Pam has them listed in her etsy shop.
