Original Verse:
Give me a needle,
Antiqued linen,
And some quiet time
To stitch a sampler
With colors so fine.
Stitch Count - 174 x 312
Model is stitched on 36 count Edinburgh linen ~ Flax by Zweigart (3217/520/55) over 2 linen threads.
Model is stitched with two strands of Weeks Dye Works Cotton Floss and The Gentle Art Sampler Threads (DMC equivalents provided).
(DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact equivalents for hand-dyed fibers; for best results, use the hand-dyed floss.)
Piece contains Cross Stitch, Satin Stitch, and Algerian Eye Stitch (diagrams and instructions are provided).
I encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and style.
About the design: This piece was named with two very supportive friends in mind. To Merry and Pat ~ Thank you for encouraging my dream, your genuine support, and (most importantly) for believing in me.
