For the Love of Stitching Sampler - Band 158

Band description:

This pattern is based on some chicken scratch designs. 

Threads:

This band is worked in a hand dyed wool which is about the same weight as Appletons and a hand dyed cotton.

Fabric:

This section of my sampler is worked on Aida

Dyes:

Procion cold water dyes for the threads 

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:

This section of the sampler was finished in November 2005.
