Master embroiderer and fine artist, Rebecca Ringuist, shares 31 days of stitches in our first ever Daily Embroidery Challenge. Using her “Drawing Stitches” sampler as a basis, Rebecca’s embroidery style is vibrant, original, and simple enough for all skill levels to follow along. You’ll start with basic stitches, then move on to groups of stitches that create textural effects, like confetti, fancy chains, zigzags, flowers, and filling stitches. Each day, you’ll expand your knowledge of embroidery and build on techniques to combine elements that look complex but are easy to execute. Best of all, at the end of the month not only will you have learned loads of new techniques, but you’ll also have a finished sampler!

Here’s what you’ll need:

Sharp scissors
Woven fabric or printed “Drawing Stitches” sampler – available here
Embroidery needles
Milliner's needles
Dull tapestry needles
Embroidery floss and Size 8 Perle cotton in colors of your choice
Embroidery hoop (Rebecca uses a size 6")
Thimble or rubber fingertip(s)
Twill tape, for wrapping inner hoop
Marking tool (Rebecca uses Mark-B-Gone marker, Pencil or Frixion Pen)
Optional: Cotton tapestry thread, larger Perle threads, knitting yarns, and crewel threads
