We’ve created an adapted band sampler inspired by an antique featuring our favorite red stitches: Bristol Sampler motifs! Please do us the honor of stitching our band sampler with us during the month of February 2022 and beyond, and sharing your progress on your social media and/or ours. Tag us in your posts with #stitchredwithsassyjacks.
About the band sampler:
We begin, of course, with an adaptation of a gorgeous Bristol squirrel! We have then included a few alphabets. At the end of each alphabet, we left some space. In this empty space, we encourage you to stitch the initials of your stitching friends, family, or others who hold a place in your heart; this is what the orphans at the Bristol Orphan Houses would have done with that space. You might want to use the block alphabet for those sets of initials. You can also do this with any empty space at the end of the rows of numbers. Be sure to stitch your own name at the bottom of the sampler as well!
We designed this to fit on our red stripped banding stitched over 2 threads, with 5.75” of stitch space (7” wide) but you can stitch it over one on our 4” red edged banding, or on any piece of linen or aida from your stash. I will show you a couple of different edging stitches you can use to finish it off.
Remember to tag us with #stitchredwithsassyjacks and thank you for stitching with us and sharing your heart this month!
