Burgundy Band Sampler 2020 SAL

Burgundy Band Sampler 2020 SAL - This is a 28 week SAL which starts on January 3. The charts will be sent out every Friday and the sections are quite do-able and leave time for your other stitching. Please note that this does not have to be stitched on banding and can be stitched in any colour thread of your choice.

The cost of this SAL is US$27 and covers Parts 1 and 2 (plus a bonus chart) and is payable by Paypal.

This 100mm wide banding can be obtained from Marijke *here* you will need to purchase 100cm to complete the sampler. If you have difficulty with the site being in Dutch just email Marijke at ateliersteekjesenkruisjes@gmail.com explain you are joining iStitch Designs Burgundy Band Sampler 2020 SAL and giving her your address and PayPal address. She will then work out mailing costs and send you an invoice. She speaks/writes in excellent English. I understand it is available from Sassy Jacks too.

I used AVAS soie d’alger 2926 (6 skeins) but you can, of course, stitch this band is any colour/threads of your choice.

The above picture only shows a section of Part 1.

There are two iStitch Designs Facebook pages - one just a general iStitch Designs *here* but there is also an iStitch Designs Burgundy Band Sampler SAL page *here* this is currently called the Amethyste Band Sampler SAL but will change once the new SAL starts. You are welcome to join either one or both. They are closed groups but easy enough to join.
