| Embroidery Sampler From Rebecca Ringquist A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a post from Pam Garrison about a sampler she was working on from embroidery artist, Rebecca Ringquist. Initially, I was a little disappointed, because the sampler had only been available from Rebecca at the Squam Art Workshop. I'm so happy to see that, based on the incredibly positive response Rebecca received for her sampler and work, that she's started a blog and opened an Etsy shop wherein you can purchase her screen printed sampler. She also has a Flickr group where folks can post pictures of their samplers in progress.
