Today, I have the final band in Panel 5 of the Never Ending Sampler.  This is Band #13:

Right click on the image and save to your computer, then print in any graphic software.

I will go ahead and get this put together into a pattern leaflet for those of you who prefer to work the design as a whole instead of working it as a stitch along.

I have some really cool ideas for Panel 6!  I'm going to give everyone a few weeks to get caught up.  It's still vacation time and school will be starting soon so I know people will be getting ready for that.

In the meantime, Happy Stitching!  I hope you've enjoyed Panel 5!

The Never Ending Sampler Panel 4 Part 1

For those you who are stitching on the Never Ending Sampler project, I have Panel 4 Band 1 for you today.  If you're new to this free cross stitch sampler, click on the link above to learn more about it.

Panel 4 will work a little differently than the previous 3 panels.  I am giving you a traditional color key for the design.  You are still welcome to change colors and/or threads if you want.  It's your sampler so please feel free to make it what you want it to be.  My color choices are only suggestions but you can swap out a Kreinik metallic thread or a shaded thread anywhere you would like to.

Okay so here's Band 1 - the chart and the color key:
