‘Souvenir’ Band Sampler Sal – Part 15 – Victoria Sampler

 We are getting very close to an end with the ‘Souvenir’ stitch-a-long from Victoria Sampler.

This week we have created the pointed end to our bell pull and introduced some Hardanger Kloister Blocks  into our stitching as well as some Algerian Eyelets.

Hardanger is usually stitched with Perle cotton thread but as I didn’t have any, I decided to try doing mine with the Weeks Dye Works thread that I’ve been using for the rest of the design and use three strands, which seemed to be about the right thickness.

I also added some small seed beads at the end.


Happy Stitching!
