For the Love of Stitching Sampler – Band 358

Stitches

This band of stitching is made up of two rows of Creten stitch which has been laced with a textured knitting wool which I dyed. I then added novelty flower shaped beads in a line down the middle.

 

Thread 

The Creten stitch is worked in hand dyed perle #8 thread

Fabric:

Linda, 27cnt evenweave fabric produced by Zweigart

Dyes: 

Procion dyes for the the cotton and wool thread

Size:

The sampler is 15 cm (6 inches) wide and all the sections are 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 I have another 12 sections to add. Since I constantly have it to hand picking the latest section up when in the mood it will get longer. I will stop when I get bored with playing with it!

Date:

This section of the sampler was worked in November 2007.
