Never Ending Sampler Panel 3 Band 1

I can't believe that today is November 1st!  Where did October go?

I know everyone needed some time to get caught up on Panels 1 and 2 of The Never Ending Sampler but now it's time to start on Panel 3!!

If you're new to this Stitch-Along, you'll want to read about it here.

Band 1 is worked with cross stitches and straight stitches.  The Bargello stitch around the center square should be worked with 3 strands of floss to give the look of satin stitching.

Here's a closeup of the center of the square:

These are long straight stitches that will cross over each other.

If you would like as nice place to chat with other stitchers about this project, hop over to Facebook and join the Never Ending Sampler Stitch-Along group!
