Rahenna had terrible problems making decisions about her Band Sampler until inspiration struck in the form of this little Pokemon:
Snivy is Rahenna's favourite Pokemon so she used the colours as inspiration! She also sent us a lovely collection of Lesa Steele and Patricia Ann samplers to choose our bands from with strict instructions not to use any other colours other than those provided under threat of being attacked by an angry Pokemon!
(quick joke - how do you get four Pikachus on a bus? You poke 'em on)
My bands chosen from Lesa Steele's Sweet Harmony

The whole piece as it goes on to Kathy.
The previous RR was Karen's Sweetheart Tree Autumn themed sampler. Here are my bands:
I chose my bands from Heirloom Roses but changed the flowers into acorns and added the squirrel.

Finally, the Summer Postcard Blog Hop is underway. It's not too late to send me a photo, in fact you've got until the middle of August to do so. For more details click on the garden photo to the right.

They are both stunning. I do love band samplers even though they seem to be a bit out of fashion at present
They are both stunning pieces. Your additions are just lovely.

Gorgeous stitching! I love the satin stitch hearts and the sweet eyelets on the first sampler :) And turning the flowers to acorns on the second one is just genius!!
Those are amazing. The color scheme for both of them is perfect but you have to love the inspiration for the first one.
Wooow, thanks so much for adding such gorgeous bands to mine! I'm glad everyone seems to have gotten a kick out of my silly inspiration and instructions! :)
Both band samplers are looking gorgeous. And such wonderful bands that you added. A great RR indeed.
