Creating Stitched QR Codes
The November program on creating stitchable QR (Quick Response) codes was very interesting. In case you missed it, Jenny has provided the handouts which explain how to create your own stitchable QR code as well as the chart to stitch the one she created for LVEGA. Click on the photo to download the chart and click on the button below to download the handout.

Star Sampler Multi-Part Project
by Eileen
The Star Sampler is a counted-thread learning sampler worked on 25- to 28-count evenweave fabric using DMC floss, Caron Wildflowers thread, and cotton quilting thread or tatting cotton. The finished size of the design is 159 x 159 stitches, or 318 x 318 threads.
The sampler incorporates the following stitches/techniques: blackwork, hardanger (cutting of fabric threads is optional), pattern darning in one and two directions, six outlining stitches, six pulled-thread filling stitches, and six specialty fillings (Florentine, Queen, Rice, Smyrna cross, and Algerian eye stitches and Assisi work).
The sampler was designed for those who are proficient at counted cross stitch and are ready to branch out into new techniques. The project should also be interesting for more advanced stitchers who may wish to experiment with different colors, fibers, and stitch choices.
