You Had Me At The Monkey On A Bicycle

One of my favorite blogs of late comes from Tracy of Ink Circles, who is designing a very clever sampler called The Dutch Beast. She blogs about it here. Please go look, I'll wait. A few months back I was browsing her regular site and noticed the link to this fabulous sampler in the making. Of course I didn't bookmark it, so spent several weeks aimlessly surfing stitch blogs to try to find that cool Dutch Sampler with the monkey on a bicycle! It took a while, I found it again, and I'm happy to share it.

I think Tracy hits all the marks. It's a great design with a great color palette, and fabulous motifs, including donut heads, DEVO hats, bird poop, a family pizza party, moonshine, and more! It's traditional, it's new, it's cool. Nice work, Tracy!
