This area is part of section 36 on of the For Love of Stitching band sampler. This area is an experiment that was inspired by the experiments in Algerian eye stitches I did a few bands before.
Thread:
The thread is hand dyed silk.
Fabric:
Hand dyed 18 cnt Aida
Date:
This section of the sampler was worked early 2009.
Size:
The For Love of Stitching Band Sampler is 15 cm (6 inches) wide. It consists of different strips of fabric which are are stitched together to form one long band sampler.
The needlework band sampler is currently 74 ft 8 inches or 896 inches (2275.84 centimetres) or 24.8 yards (22.75 metres) long and I have more to add. I will stop when I get bored with playing with it!

The back story:
This series documents part by part, a hand embroidered needlework band sampler, which is still growing as I still stitch it.
If you are interested in the how and why this needlework sampler came to be made have a look at the Introductory Post to the series. Also I answered a few questions about fabric choice and width.
Also blogging has influenced this sampler.
Here is a list of previous sections:
Sections 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
Sections 15-24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28, 29 , 30 , 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 , and 36
Each section of the sampler is joined to the previous section to form one long strip. In other words, one long band sampler!
If you want to know more about the process you will find information in how I Extended and backed the sampler.

I hope you don't mind me asking this here, but I've tried several times to sign up at Stitchin Fingers and never got a confirmation email.
Any chance you could send an invite, please? Thanks very much.
