I have fallen in love with band samplers after seeing Tommye, Nupur, Barbara H & G, Bhooma and Kate stitching theirs.
I have been apprehensive about some of the speciality stitches they require but I realise that with the knowledge we have in the group their is always someone who is able to help.
Would you like to stitch a band sampler?
Ellenor Wykcs is a great one to start with (no trellis or detached buttonhole) - enlarge this photo and see just how beautiful she is. The stitches used are cross, double running, counted satin and Montenegrin cross. For me I worry about turning in curves not corners on Monetenegrin but I have decided to put my big girl's blouse on with my Proper Stitch page (23 to 29 bookmarked) to hand and stitch this stunning sampler.
Kate and Krista are stitching with me and we would like to invite you to join us.
Ellenor is stitched on 35 ct and measures 7.5" x 29" and will be a great addition to your sampler wall.
I will post close up photos of each section as I stitch them.
Will you join us?
