For the Love of Stitching Sampler – Band 78

This band is a pattern made up of  cross stitch and  straight stitch

Thread:

The cross stitches are worked in mercerised cotton and the straight stitches are worked in silk. The larger cross stitches were worked using a fine soft cotton that is similar to flower thread. All embroidery threads are hand dyed by me.

Fabric:

This section of my sampler is worked on 26 count linen which I hand painted with procion cold water dyes.

Dyes:

Procion cold water dyes were used for both thread and foundation fabric

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 was worked in March 1998
