In this line of stitching I used  herringbone stitch to couch down some  metallic gold cord 

Thread:

DMC perle #5, and a gold metallic fine cord.  

Fabric:

This section of my band sampler is worked on cream dress linen 

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:

I started this section of the sampler in 2004 and completed it early  2005.

The back story:

This post is part of series documenting a hand embroidered band sampler, which now measures over 44 feet long and is still growing as I still stitch it.
