![My Band Sampler 28 Autumn](http://loopylace.com/anniescrazyworld/wp-images/sampler_28autumn.jpg)
Top Row…The first part of this seam is from one of Elizabeth’s tast experiments, I was having trouble with the tension and thought of another way to get a similar effect, I did 2 rows with groups in each row coming together at one point and then straight stitches over the central points…size 8 silk thread.
Middle Row…a simple flipped buttonhole stitch trimmed with straight stitches worked with 2 strands of green cotton floss and red size 5 cotton pearl thread…I like how delicate the straight stitches make this seam look.
Bottom Row…Marking the change of Season….Stem stitch done with a wool thread, it has been such a cool summer we are already thinking about pulling out the winter woollies

Oh, Annie, I love that middle row! So simple, but so elegant looking. The “butterflies” are nice, too. I’m so happy I found your blog all those months ago – you constantly inspire me. Right now, all I need is time.
