Blue and White Antique Needlework Band Sampler Kit

This charming 19th century band sampler was originally stitched with cotton thread on a thicker cotton as opposed to linen with hues of blue, green, red and ecru. The original piece was unframed when I purchased the sampler, so I was able to match the thread colors as close as possible to the original. 

• 19 bands of different patterns
• One alphabet with two charming chairs and crown and heart motifs.
• Easy pattern - great for beginners who want to try their hand with counted cross stitch or experts who just want a meditative and relatively simple project.
• Stitches in the pattern are cross stitch and backstitch. 
  
• 124 x 312 stitches

Included with the kit is:

• a printed copy of the pattern,
• a brief explanation about band samplers,
• instructions on how to get started with the project,
• DMC Cotton Thread or Treenways Silk Thread depending on which kit you purchase,
• 16 Count Aida Cloth with Cotton Kit or 32 Count Belfast Linen with Silk Kit,
• 24 size needle.

Please note, we do not include a hoop as what folks stitch on (a hoop, frame or by hand) is such a personal decision. If you need advice on what to use to get started, please send me an email and I can share with you some of my favorite options.
