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 two linen threads
Back Stitch - used only for apple stems in basket

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.
