Band description:
This is the first band in the section and is basic buttonhole stitch
Fabric and Thread:
The sample is worked on Aida. I only used one thread on this section of the sampler. It is a cotton thread which was hand dyed by me.
Dyes:
Procion cold water dyes are used to dye the threads
Size:
The sampler is 15 cm (6 inches) wide and all 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 still being added to.
Date:
This section of the sampler was finished in December 2005.

Thanks Katrina
I am pleased you like it. I did not realise people could not see the photos and I was clicking around yesterday and changed some settings – glad it improved things rather than breaking them!
Hi Sharon! I just wanted to drop by and tell you how much I’m enjoying your site. I read through Google Reader, and I’m not sure if you changed something or they did, but now I can see your pictures in the Reader! Thought you might be interested to know – it is a VAST improvement. 🙂 Thanks for all the inspiration!
