*NEW* Black Band Sampler SAL starting in mid July. Blue Band Sampler and the ongoing Red Band Sampler SAL were a great success so I decided to do another one. It it stitched on natural banding available from Marijke online shop *here* and is stitched with NPI silk threads in black (993) and red (502). Obviously you can choose any banding/fabric and threads to stitch this. The picture shows on Part 1 of the sampler which come in two main parts plus a bonus part with all new alphabets and bands.
