I hope people are still enjoying this series. When I started writing about each band I realised it would take some time to work through, but the reality of the process is a bit daunting at times. On the whole I have enjoyed documenting each band and it has reinvigorated my interest in stitches. One off shoot of this interest is that I have stitched more since I have started to document this sampler. So, generally the process of photographing and writing about each band is a positive experience for me. I hope readers still find the changing moods of this sampler interesting.
Some of my Sumptuous Surfaces students may recognise parts of section 28. In this series I do not be discuss or cover aspects of design as often design is what I teach in my classes. Some of the bands in this section of the sampler are used to illustrate points I wanted to make in my class. These bands taken out of context do not give away the contents of the classes.

Your embroidery is beautiful, I hope I get this good one day.
Love this section particularly!
I, too, have found that writing about past projects has also helped me to embroider more now. Just as I hoped it would!
