Dropcloth Samplers
Dropcloth Samplers is a line of hand-drawn embroidery samplers, printed and ready for you to jump in and start stitching right away. Each pattern is hand drawn by Rebecca Ringquist in her Portland, Oregon studio, and printed for you to embroider with your own color and thread choices.
Introducing
This embroidery sampler, designed by Rebecca Ringquist in her Portland, Oregon studio, features five rows of color.
It's potentially our easiest sampler yet- the example shown uses just two stitches- back stitch and running stitch. However, like all of our designs, you can customize this one with your own stitches and colors. Yo Yo Rainbow is the third design in our samplers inspired by traditional American quilts.
We're pleased to announce that this sampler was designed with a new collection of threads in mind- we used a custom box of nine colors from Wonderfil threads, and you can too. Each coloful variegated spool of size 8 Perle Cotton was selected to complement this design perfectly.

About dropcloth samplers
Think of our samplers like coloring book pages for embroidery—there's no preparation necessary—they arrive ready to stitch. The first two samplers, Original and Sequel, were designed with the stitch names printed right on the cloth. You stitch as you learn, creating a lasting reference for all future embroidery projects. Other designs offer less guidance, encouraging you to make decisions as you go, choosing colors and threads that suit your own tastes. Have you been embroidering for awhile and you’re ready to shake things up? Perfect! Welcome! New to embroidery but ready to jump in? Great! We have custom Creativebug classes based on our most popular designs that are ready to walk you through every single stitch.
