To quote Po from Kung Fu Panda 2 : "You see that right there? That's awesomeness."

All these bands from everybody? That's awesomeness.

And all the creativity is amazing!

Could we have it for maybe April and May and have 8 lines instead of 4? 6 we all choose and then 2 of our own choosing?

I second this, would be much more likely to get it done in two months.

I would definitely go for this! With as many as I keep seeing that I would absolutely love/have to do I wouldn't mind the extra time for it.

So many new ones that I want!

I'm not sure we need more time (for the stitching) as each band is pretty small and usually has a great deal of "white-space" (that is unless we go beyond 4 patterns).

[tnitnetny]

That is why I suggested doubling the patterns to 8. There are just so many, it will be so hard to choose!!

I'm all for making it a two-month endeavor! There are some really great patterns that have come out of this and showcasing even more of them would be fantastic.

I kinda agree with kuja - I think we can keep it to one month's worth of stitching. I, for one, look forward to doing more bands, but I think I'll do them in my own time.

I think the 'official' sampler should just be the 4 bands + SS symbol and name/year, but I'd love to see those who want to do more. I don't think we need the extra time. Plus I like the challenges give me something to do that is simple, looks awesome, and doesn't take too long so that I lose my interest.

Here's a simple little Ecco band:

Not sure how much I like either of these, but considering it took only 10 minutes for each....

Anyway, I give you Fire Emblem Blazing Swords Sampler Patterns!

The side border for this is done using a Plaited Algerian Stitch that I found here http://www.needlelace.com/stitch_9_2009.html and I only added it in to make it more "samplery." Anything could be put there instead if anybody wanted to change it.
