Morning Modelbuch (3/1/2020)

I’m working (very slowly) on a band sampler as part of an online class I’m taking. It has pointed out to me just how rudimentary my embroidery skills are. I am, however, having a lot of fun and finding patterns in the historical examples while I stumble along with my uncoordinated hands.
