Stitch
Count - 159 H X 159 W
Model
is stitched on 40-count Sand Dune hand-dyed fabric by Lakeside
Linens with one strand over 2 linen threads.

Dye Works cotton floss (DMC
equivalent provided).
Weeks
Dye Works Cotton Floss:
Rum Raisin (3857) - 4 skeins (20 yards)
Floss
estimation is for stitching as directed on 40-count fabric with one strand
of floss over 2 threads of linen. DMC equivalent is only approximate,
as there is no exact equivalent.
Original
verse:
TWO
BY TWO BOARDED THE ARK
40 DAYS AND NIGHTS
TILL RAIN DID PART
Package
contains a master chart, an enlarged chart for easy viewing, and an alphabet
for personalization.
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
Chevron Stitch (border) (diagram provided)
This
design would work perfect for a Birth Sampler - simply replace the verse in
the center with the name and specifics of the baby. A complete alphabet and
numbers are provided for personalization.
The
motifs would work great for magnets or scissor fobs!
Make
this sampler your own by replacing a square with a favorite button or charm.
Thank
you to my wonderful friend Terri for her concept idea and continued support!
