"Loara Standish is my name
Lorde guide my hart that
I may doe thy will also
My hands with such
Convenient skill as may
Conduce to virtue void of
Shame and I will give
The glory to thy name"

Loara Standish Sampler-non-reversible-Band 1
The fabric came in the kit and it 35ct so the finished sampler won't be as small as the original which was stitched over 50 ct.
I have just looked through all of your Loara blog...brought back lots of memories. While looking at the different bands, I realized that some of what you were doing was different than what I did...and then I realized that you were doing the non-reversible version...when I did mine Joanne Harvey hadn't done the non-reversible graph yet...as it hadn't been put out there for sale yet. I did band 1 and part of the next band while in Plymouth under Joanne's tutelage...what a privilege! Every time I walk by my Loara Sampler I can't believe that I stitched it! I still have the beautiful box that the sampler came in...filled with the left over silk threads. And, that long arm cross that Joanne did...well, it was different than the usual...and you are right it was to make it reversible...lots of passes to make it look the same on the front and back. Joanne at first thought it was a montenegrin...that is till she had the privelege to see it out of the frame and found out that it was reversible...and she went back to the drawing board with photos that her husband was allowed to take and she figured out how to make each stitch reversible...quite a story to hear her tell of her adventure with Loara...such dedication to the stitching arts!
I am having issues with the Standish Stitch and making it reversible. The stitch does not come out with a an "arrow" down and a "cross" on the back as it does on the front following the instructions in my kit. Is there somewhere I can see a video or more instructions? Or can you walk me through it?
please please IS THERE ANYWAY to get a copy of the instructions? Mine were destroyed during our moved to our new home. I am willing to pay again for these since I cannot even start without them. I took the class taught by Joanne Harvey up in Kansas City years ago and once home it got put up. PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW via email stitcher.lg@gmail.com or text to 316-259-6295. THANKS TO ANYONE who can fill this request. Furthermore is The Examplarery Sampler Collection still in business? Linda A Gibson
