Samplers have been used throughout history to learn stitches and experiment with their uses but they don't have to be straight lines. By using repetitive shapes you can compare the stitch densities and textures to understand them better. Using this stylised flower, we will fill in the shapes using combinations of commonly used stitches.
There is a guideline of how to do this for the beginners but you have free reign to play further and swap around the colours if you feel more adventurous.
