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.

Cross
Stitch over two linen threads

Straight Cross Stitch (border) (diagram provided)
French or Colonial Knots
(snowman and dove's eyes only)
The
motifs would work great for magnets or scissor fobs!

this sampler your own by replacing a square with a favorite button or charm.
