I remember feeling pitiful also and I just kept at it. Very nice heart leaves.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's great! Nice sampler!
ReplyDeleteYour leave look good..keep practicing. Pitiful are those who are afraid to try!
ReplyDeleteI like the circles. With different thread colors and weights they can become stones or flowers. A very useful design. You leaves are quite nice, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea to mix leaves and pebbles.
ReplyDeleteGreat job for a first attempt !
Keep going!! We're all here to learn and improve our skills, right?! I think your sample is fabulous and to add the pebbles too is just awesome creativity!
