Never Ending Sampler Complete Panel 3 Band 16

This is it everyone!  The final band for Panel 3 of the Never Ending Sampler:

Here is Band 16 by itself:

It's a simple little snowflake border worked in cross stitches and straight stitches.

Here it is with the overlap for placement purposes:

Next week, I'll talk about Panel 4 which will be a little different the first 3 Panels.

Never Ending Sampler Panel 3 Band 15

We're nearing the end of Panel 3 of the Never Ending Sampler.  I think we've been working on this for 2 years now, right?  Lot's more to go!  But for now, I have Band #15.

First, the entire Panel 3 sampler so far:

I'm sure you can see the Four Seasons "theme" that I worked in to this panel!!!

Here is Band 15 by itself:

Simple cross stitches and straight stitches create the snowflakes!

Here is Band 15 with the band 14 overlap for placement purposes:

There will be 1 more band on this Panel and then we'll talk about Panel 4 and when that will start.

Never Ending Sampler Panel 3 Band 14

If you're working on the Never Ending Sampler, I have Band 14 of Panel 3 for you today.  First, the entire sampler so far:

And here is Band 14:

Band 14 is another example of the Rhodes stitch.  I love this stitch.  It offers a lot of opportunities from a design perspective.  We'll be doing more of them down the road.

Here is the overlap for placement purposes:

This link will show you how to work this stitch:

I've chatting a bit with Sharon B who is an expert on all the various stitches and hopefully, she will have some examples and directions soon as well.

We are nearing the end of Panel 3.  Once completed, I will give everyone a short break to get caught up and then we'll start on Panel 4.

Get out your DMC thread colors because we're going to stray a bit from what we've been doing.  You'll still be able to choose your own colors for some areas.  You'll see.  I just want to give ya'll some more options for creating a unique sampler and crazy quilt seam treatments.
