#162 Victorian Band Sampler Sampler “Love is a fruit in Season at all times and
within every hand...”
Stitch this lovely sampler in the
Victorian Tradition! The third and last project in the
Victorian Collection, this stunning 24" long Band Sampler is
inspired by the #F11 Victorian Purse and Smalls, and the now
discontinued Victorian Pincushion and Smalls. This beautiful
Victorian Band Sampler is stitched on Cashel 28ct Willow
Green, but Zweigart manufacturer is no longer making it in
28ct. So, we recommend you use the 32ct Willow Green (which
IS available) or a 28ct Raw Linen, or any other
greenish-beige linen You will be stitching with over-dyed
silk and silk flosses, silk ribbons, wool, pearls, and
sparkling beads. The topper is a gorgeous Bargello heart
with a vine, above some creamy lacy stitching, The Alphabet
and then a scene picked out in petit Cross Stitches, of a
large meeting house, and the tree of life, as well as petit
bands for interest and fun. Further down, Mother Theresa’s
inspiring verse is stitched within two bands of silk ribbon
flowers. Another alphabet follows, and after some more
creamy lace, there’s an English country scene with two
friends reaching for the fruit of the ‘love’ tree in their
garden. More flowers, and at the bottom is a delicious row
of Bargello, incorporating the colours already used in the
sampler. Enjoy stitching this fun sampler full of exquisite
colour, fun and exciting specialty stitches, and a
meaningful verse of love for all seasons. – Thea
