For the Love of Stitching Sampler - Band 121

This band of stitching is created by working three lines of  herringbone stitch

Thread:

DMC perle thread #8. 

Fabric:

This section of my 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 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. That is not a typo, if you want to know more about the sampler related posts are listed below and all posts in the series are in the category For the Love of Stitching band sampler

Develop your embroidery skills with classes online with me 

For anyone interested in taking a class with me Personal Library of Stitches is due to start October 6th. 

For those thinking about taking this class the course is structured in such a way that each week I take an aspect of design and apply it to stitches. This means that the content of the course is very different from what is already published in my blog. 

Follow the links to read class descriptions and read  how classes work if you have not taken an online class before.
