Brilliant translation of marks into stitch. Have you come across Stef Francis for naturally-dyed threads and fabrics? www.stef-francis.co.uk
These are lovely - such fun playing with stitches.

I love how you have interpreted the rubbings in stitch. It would be interesting to make more rubbings from the stitches.
I can see you enjoyed the fly stitch sampler 2, Jenn, great interpretation of the rubbings in stitch. Can't wait till I get to the stitching!!
