Band Sampler Sal – Part 6 – Victoria Sampler

The Ladies over at Victoria Sampler excelled themselves this week with the latest part of the ‘Souvenir’ Band Sampler, bringing in Assisi and double running stitches into the band.

It was a sweet little tree which I did with colonial knots (I think I’m obsessed with doing these) and the tiniest little squirrel ever.  He is stitched 1 over 1 and carrying a diddy gold acorn.

There was also a gap left for us to add some text, so in my band I went with ‘Autumn’ and added some 1 over 1 leaves and a little acorn charm.

 Happy Stitching!
