Drop in Miniature Rhino Pattern Club Embroidery Sampler - Weave

Inspired by my my love of stitching and snail mail Miniature Rhino Pattern Club aims to get you out of your head, off your screen and immersed in hands-on making. This listing is for a one time drop stitch kit from MR Pattern Club, a quarterly stitch subscription featuring bold, original patterns silkscreened onto sustainable materials and sent in thoughtful, low-waste packaging.  This pattern, called WEAVE, is silk screened on sustainably sourced fabrics. The pattern lines are permanent and printed in a dashed line for the most stitching flexibility. They can be stitched over with the running stitch, backstitch, couched or any stitch you prefer. There's no one right way to make these samplers & each invites you to explore your own creativity.  PDF & video instructions include simple directions on completing the sampler in various ways with running stitch, weaving, and couching (a laid stitch technique you can see on the cream colored sample in the images).  DETAILS ONE original silk screened 14 x 14 pattern. Printed locally in NY by another one-woman small business, Better Than Jam. Two color options: Aqua/Silver: Metallic lightweight linen (designer deadstock) Cream: 100% Recycled Cotton/Poly (60/40%) from Pure Waste  Custom thread pack of four 100% cotton Olympus sashiko threads: pink, maroon, orange, yellow Instructions in PDF & video format (emailed to you). NOTE: there are a few printing errors on this batch were the lines are very light. It's only on a small portion, like a line or two of the printing. Still very easy to stitch, but I wanted to share this info.    What else will I need?  Backing Fabric. I highly recommend a backing, like you see in the photos (blue fabric). I find it helpful to back my pieces with another piece of fabric to stabilize and make my pieces double sided.  Needles. I love Olympus Sashiko Needles, but embroidery needles work  too!  Scissors. Embroidery hoop. (optional) I don't use one for the running stitching, but would be helpful if you'd like to use other stitches. I'd love to see you go off & make this your own! Use of a hoop just depends on your preferred stitch style.
