‘Souvenir’ Band Sampler Sal – Parts 13 & 14 – Victoria Sampler

I really thought I had posted last week’s  ‘part 13’ of the band sampler but apparently I hadn’t, so today you have two for the price of one!

Last week we stitched a double herringbone band worked in two colours.  This was a new stitch to me, but once I had done a couple of stitches and remembered the spacing, it was quite simple to do. 

I did mine with one row of DMC and the other in Glissen Gloss Metallic thread. 

Part 14 was also a stitch I hadn’t done before,  Bullion Knots.

It was a band made up of a combination of back stitch, lazy daisies and a bullion knot Rose.

Umm,  I think I need a little more practice with the bullion knots!

Stitches so far:- Cross stitch, Back stitch,  Lazy Daises,  Rhodes Heart,

Colonial Knots,  Bargello,  Satin Stitch,  Hem stitch, French Knots. Blackwork, Double Running Stitch, Honeycomb Stitch, Silk Flowers, Double Rice Stitch, Double Herringbone Stitch, Bullion Knot

Happy Stitching!
