I have made little progress this month, I am not enjoying stitching the peice...not for the design, it is the colours of the threads, I am not happy with them but after 5 motifs it's an awful lot to unpick and I can't afford to get another peice of fabbie. I am going to decide on a colour of thread and maybe restitch 1 over 1 as stitching over 2 the fabric is just so big and cumbersum to manage...sorry to sound negative but it is just not "doing it" for me at the moment.

I'm so sorry you are not enjoying this piece Elisa. I loved your thread choice, but of course on the camera never takes a 'real' pic.
I'm sure you'll have enough fabric to stitch it over 1, i'll look forward to seeing your new colour choice.
Sorry you're having a hard time on this piece. Is there any way you could incorporate more colours into it to make it a bit more different or interesting for you? Sometimes we have to just keep plugging away at somethign till we make some progress on it. I think I feel like this about all my wips at some point. x
I have to agree about the cumbersome piece of fabric lol!
Oh, my, Qsnaps won't help?? I have these clamps normally used to close bags with to roll and clamp down my excess fabric to the Qsnaps...I also use an ottlite to help me see...
Anyway, I hope going to a smaller piece of fabric and doing 1 over 1 works for you.
So sad you are unhappy with your choice of color for the BP sampler - I had started this when it first came out several years ago and had a similiar issue - just was NOT pleased with my choice of silk so I rolled it up and put it away - I am pleased with my current choice but have had little time to work on it - Hope you get reaquainted with your sampler and new threads and enjoy working on it.
