Model is stitched with The Gentle Art Sampler Threads (DMC equivalent provided) and DMC six-strand embroidery floss.

Floss estimation is for stitching as directed on 40-count fabric with one strand of floss over 2 threads of linen. DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact equivalents for hand over-dyed fibers.

Package contains a master chart, and an enlarged chart for easy viewing.

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

Stitches:

Cross Stitch over both one and two linen threads
Back Stitch
Leaf Stitch Variation (border) (diagram provided)

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.
