Twisted Band Sampler

Information provided by designer:

It's been a while since I did a band sampler, and this time I wanted to do something a little different, so I added a twist!! Designing on a diagonal is challenging but so much fun!

This design is a combination of cross stitch and many specialty stitches, with stitch diagrams and instructions provided for all stitches.

Stitch Count: 144w x 288h
Design Size: 7 ¼ x 14 ½ inches on 40 count fabric
8 x 16 inches on 36 count fabric

Fabric used for the model is 32ct Linen in Bisque from Lakeside Linens.

This is not an exact conversion but it's pretty darn close. :)

*Thread pack listed is Dinky Dyes silks.

Floss estimates are for 32 count fabric using one strand of thread for stitching over two. If using DMC, you might need to bump that to two strands – it doesn't cover quite as well. If you do use two strands, you may need a second skein of the greens and golds.

Happy Stitching!
