Band 3: Forget Me Nots, representing the deaths of Martha's son, Francis and Daniel Custis. Cross Stitch over Four, Satin Stitch and Rice Stitch.
Band 4: Divider. Rapid Stitch.
Band 5: Florentine Stitch using the colors of Martha's gown worn at her wedding to George Washington: a Golden Olive [WDW Schneckly], yellow [WDW Buttercup], and purple [WDW Royal Purple]. Clearly, this band isn't done yet but it was getting a little too late for such delicate stitching.

You aren't wasting any time. Loving the mix of colours and stitches.
Growing well and so beautifully.
Lovely progress. I like the way each piece connects to Martha too.
