Daisychain Sampler "K"

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. :)

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.

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!
