This list is for those of us who are passionately interested in stitching band samplers. There will be no specific designers that we will continually stitch designs of but a variety of designs that are what make up the enticing world of samplers. We'll talk mainly about samplers but also about what's going on with each of us in our personal lives as we work these heirlooms. We will do some stitch-alongs, as well as just give each other support as we each stitch our own samplers. There are so many types of samplers that we may discover some variations in samplers which some of us have never tried before. Help with specialty stitches will be appreciated as well as ideas on how to change those already designed to make them uniquely our own.

The main theme for this list however, will be to share information on the samplers we are each working on and to enjoy each other's company.

No flaming will be allowed and since we will be a group of stitchers of many stitching skills, it will be a place where those with much experience can help those who are just embarking on their sampler stitching.
