The Exemplary 2024
1st Place, Professional Original

Tall, Dark, & Handsome is one of a series of charted designs, celebrating and modifying the traditional samplers. Strong visual movement and beautiful colors in the teal/blue/violets carry you into the series. The threads and stitches were selected for color harmony, textural, and visual differences and include silks, ribbons, metallics, Very Velvet, and others. The stitches and diagonal lines create interest and movement throughout the design.

Tall, Dark, & Handsome shows off in a dramatic and elegant design that feels like its namesake.
