I have done two more bands: the first is a bit modified versions of pixxie's band, the second is an element from Zeb's band (since it was too big) repeated.

I am planning to continue with some of Smiley's, and I have drawn some bands again, will be using these, too:

I too have been wondering about using a 4 sided stitch to hem aida. Thank you.

Here's mine so far. I must also get around to putting up graphs of what I have used. Working on it

Spurred on by Agi finishing hers, I have now finished mine.
Not finally decided what to do with it. Thought about a needleroll but I haven't left enough fabric at the top. So I think I might get some wooden bellpull ends and hang it up.

Ta DA!

So a few weeks ago I was bored at work so started mucking around with a design for my band sampler. Since then it has had many alterations (bands added, bands started then discarded...) but over Easter I finished it!

Stitched on 28ct sparkly evenweave over 2 using Gumnut Yarns, Madeira and Cifonda Silks (Mabel will be proud!) and a 4mm silk ribbon for the roses (colours chosen as I went along :shock: ):

In whole:

Top and bottom halves:

Sections of my favourite bands - I really love how these sections turned out (theres a second sampler now designed using these again... :) )

(Note: Some of the bands have been inspired by designs of Blackwork Journey and Seba Designs)
