Floss estimation is for stitching with model specifics. DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact matches for hand-dyed floss.

Entire piece is done in cross-stitch, with one exception ~ the border is a reversed mosaic stitch (stitch diagram provided). The reversed mosaic stitch can easily be omitted or replaced with cross-stitch, if desired.

I encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and style.

The motifs would work great for magnets or scissor fobs!

Make this sampler your own by replacing a square with your initials and the year, or with a favorite button or charm.
