For the Love of Stitching Sampler – Band 43

For the Love of Stitching Sampler – Band 43

This band is another experiment as it is a line of  zig-zag chain stitch which I added a small straight stitch at right angles to the line. 


Thread:

A hand dyed silk which is about the same weight and thickness as perle thread 8.

Fabric:

This section of the sampler is worked on tea towel linen which is not quite an even weave.

Dyes:

Procion cold water dyes for the silk thread

Size:

All samples are 15 cm (6 inches) wide and stitched together in one long band sampler.

The sampler is currently 44 ft 5 inches or 533 inches (1353.83 centimetres) or 14.8 yards  (13.53 metres) long and still being added to.

Date:

This section of the sampler is dated 1996 – Jan 1998
