Model is stitched on 32-count Chantilly Creme hand-dyed fabric by Lakeside Linens with two strands over 2 linen threads.

Floss estimation is for stitching as directed on 32-count fabric with two strands 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, an enlarged chart for easy viewing, an alphabet/numbers for personalization, and a guideline for each square with stitching instructions.

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

Stitches:

Cross Stitch over two linen threads
Cross Stitch over one linen thread
Long Straight Running Stitches over four linen threads (border) (diagram provided)

The motifs would work great for magnets or scissor fobs!

Have fun making this sampler your own by using your embellishments in your stitching basket!
