Jazz Sampler

"Oh, when the Saints... Go Marching in....!" New Orleans is an amazing city and jazz forms the soundtrack of its spirit. The top band is a representation of the Garden District and the French Quarter in New Orleans, with balconies and colorful old architecture. The floral band incorporates the Fleur de Lis which was adopted as a symbol for French culture. In the middle I created a band of ‘female’ Jazz players! As they walk along, they are playing some of the more well-known instruments you can hear in the city parades. Of course, the words of the song they’re playing is now legendary! Some Scotch Stitches follow, and then a lovely band of blackwork hearts, reminiscent of the exquisite wrought ironwork throughout the old parts of the city. The elegant Hardanger Heart at the bottom represents my love for this city of joy, renewal and music. Stitch this exciting musical Sampler to show your support for the spirit of Jazz and of New Orleans!
