For the Love of Stitching Sampler - Band 136
Friday, October 9, 2009 at 6:00AM | Sharon B | 1 Comment | in For the Love of Stitching Band Sampler 
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.
