The Stitcher's Sampler — Cross Stitch & Embroidery Junk Journal Kit · 75 Printable Pages

Cross stitch and embroidery, painted in soft watercolour.

A wooden hoop resting on natural linen, half stitched with a spray of wild flowers. An old sampler hanging on a cottage wall, a basket full of thread skeins, a needle-book with its felt pages, and hoops of little finished embroideries on a whitewashed wall.

The papers are tiny cross-stitch hearts, flowers and trees, thread skeins, blackwork flowers, hand-embroidered wild flowers, redwork hearts, birds and tulips, scattered needles and thimbles, and a madder and indigo gingham. The colours are madder red, indigo, sage, ochre and oatmeal linen.

Samplers are such a lovely Christmas tradition, and this one makes a beautiful journal for anyone who stitches.
