Line stitches and their variations: sampler

There's already a lot of stitch tutorials here on the blog, but what we haven't done yet is to stitch a sampler. So how about making a small (or a big one if you wish!) sampler based on the line stitches and their variations we've covered so far?

As for now, I suggest looking back at December and January on Stitch Floral. I'm also going to share some details on the new designs I'm currently working on and will ask you few questions (including the matter of a new stitch along), so read till the end. 😉
