Aloha All, Finally I have the last portion of the Band Sampler – Band 1 for you. Several stitches were tried and I ended up with my original idea which was simpler. I think at times we overlook simplicity in our designs/stitching. It is ok to not put multiple different stitches into one painted canvas or counted canvas. At times the simplest solution is the best one, not always, but I would say the majority of the time. First is a photo, I did not include the motif on the far left because I did remove it and have not yet stitched it again.

The snowflakes look quite elegant with the addition of the diamonds and beads. [gview file=”http://www.sheenasstitches.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Better-Band-one-with-chart.pdf”] If you are working the sampler along with me I have now added a tab on the top for the Band Sampler. It will be easier to go there to download if you need another copy later on. I would love to see some of your band’s with the colors you have chosen. Remember I am working this sampler from my stash. No extra threads are being purchased for this. I encourage you to do the same. I will start the next band soon. I just have some other work to get done first, but hopefully by mid march I will have the band posted. I know I am not supposed to put in time frames, but this is a few weeks away
Now to showcase some beautiful stitching. Cheryl Timko allowed me to take photos of her completed Sailboat canvas by Sharon G. This was a class she took last summer at Peacock Alley Needlepoint store with Robin King. I must say the piece stitched up magnificently, and of course Cheryl did change a few things, but who doesn’t!

I love how it looks completed. The sand is just fabulous, and the border really accentuates the piece. Next up we have Judy Wald McConnell’s Menorah. It is stunning. She has changed one area since this photo. Let me know what you think. The final version is at the end
Fabulous Beading
Exquisite Borders
If you had seen the original piece you would be blown away by how elegant it is now! Truly unbelievable.
Finally I have to let you know about a new class being held long distance by Meredith Willet of M’s Canvashouse . It is a “Magic Hat Class”, with the class from Share One’s Ideas, the canvas is really fun with a black kitten coming out of one of the hats, adorable. Call if you want more information, 859-253-1302.
The Menorah with changes,

That’s all for now folks, have a Stitchy Monday!
