To complete the cake section I stitched the lacy table cloth which consisted of satin stitches, cross stitches, herringbone and double cross diamond eyelets. These stitches together create a beautiful tablecloth for the cake setting!
Below the table cloth are bands of (in descending order) algerian eyelets with gold straight stitches, then perspective stitch, and ending the session with triple cross stitches. To finish off the triple cross stitch band, I'll be adding upright cross stitches in between.
Band samplers are fun because you have a mini finish with each band! Here's the top section of the sampler so far:
Next up: Some reverse stitching on Coffee Quaker!
Wishing you a great stitchy week! We're going to be sweltering here in the Pacific Northwest, I'm not going to want to be outside much except to keep the lawn and garden alive.

It is looking good, Von. Sorry you have to reverse stitch on Coffee Quaker.
So pretty, I love all those special stitches!
This is very pretty!
Such an interesting band sampler. I also love band samplers because they usually have a lot of specialty stitches. The stitches you used for the table cloth look gorgeous.
Loving this one, such pretty speciality stitches.
I think I have to add a band sampler to my growing list of wants. This is lovely and learning different stitches will challenge my stitching skills.
