For the Love of Stitching Sampler – Band 12

For the Love of Stitching Sampler – Band 12

This next section I do not know how to divide into ‘bands ‘ as it is fairly freeform and more of it will appear tomorrow.

Stitches: 

This band illustrates experiments with long and short stitch, buttonhole wheel, chain stitch, twisted chain stitch and knotted Creten

Thread:

Long and short stitch and the buttonhole wheel was worked in a hand dyed superfine merino wool that I purchased from a weavers supplier

Twisted chain stitch and knotted Creten  were worked in a hand dyed cotton and silk the same weight and thickness as  perle 5 DMC and hand dyed cotton

All threads are hand dyed by me.

Fabric:

This section of the sampler is a dress linen which is not quite an even weave, hand painted with procion cold water dyes.

Dyes:

Procion cold water dyes for the cotton, wool and silk threads

Size:

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

  1. Sharon-could you tell me how to subscribe to the Pin Tangle RSS.
    A friend is letting me know when you have posted something but it would be so much easier if I could do it myself. When I click on the Pin Tangle RSS in the rifht hand side of this blog page, all I get is a pay with all kinds of jibberish. If you could help, I’d appreciate it. Thanks, Anita amester@austin.rr.com
