"My Thoughts of Spring Band Sampler"
Catherine Theron
(A Foley/Cornelius Teacher)
Create a 17th century inspired
counted thread band sampler using silk flosses in rich shades of red, green,
gold, blue and brown. This sampler measures 5" x 30" and is worked
on 35-count cream linen.
Stitches used include Double Running, Long-Arm
Cross, Montenegrin, Diagonal Cross, Satin, Queen, Diagonal Queen, Upright
Cross, Algerian Eye, Double Straight Cross, Gobelin, Smyrna Cross, Cross-Stitch
Over One, Four-Sided, Chain, Diamond Eyelet, Padded Satin, Buttonhole Bar,
Detached Buttonhole, Spiral Trellis, Palestrina Knots and Bullion Knots.
The top section of this rich, textured piece
features polychromatic bands with strawberries and flowers. The saying
"How blest is she among the fair by gentlest stars inclined, who cherishes
with love sincere the virtues of the mind" is interspersed between the
bands.
The bottom section of this sampler is
monochromatic and is worked using two weights of cream silk to enhance the
texture and design.
This piece is recommended for the intermediate
to advanced counted thread student. There is no pre-work or prerequisites
required.
