Dropcloth Samplers are designed by US based textile artist Rebecca Ringquist.
 
An embroidery sampler, that when completed, you can sew into two pincushions* to keep your needles organized.
 
For years, I have been suggesting that embroiderers pre-thread their needles. With a pincushion full of needles that are ready to go, you can start stitching at the drop of a hat.
 
Now I've designed a pincushion to show off all your needles and help keep you inspired. This sampler includes two panels for you to embroider by hand. I used back stitch and french knots, but you can choose your own stitches to suit your own taste. For best results, we recommend using 3 strands of embroidery floss or size 8 perle cotton in your needles. Choose your favorite colors.
 
This sampler makes a great gift to share with a friend. Will you stitch them together? Stitch one up and fill it with threaded needles for a friend that could really use a pick me up? Stitch them both up and keep them at the ready on your own end table? I can't wait to see what you'll make.
