20 The World of Cross Stitching

Project Spring Sampler (Part 2)

http://www.gathered.how/woxs

DESIGNED BY HISTORICAL SAMPLER COMPANY

Take part in our springtime Stitch-A-Long and watch this

vintage-inspired design blossom before your very eyes

& showers

T

he rain clouds have been and

gone, and now that the sun is

out, it’s time for flowers to start

blooming! Buzzing bees have already

started dancing from flower to flower

to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Right at the heart of this Stitch-A-

Long sings the sunny sentiment ‘April

showers bring May flowers’ which just

radiates positive vibes and encourages

you to look on the bright side. When

you start stitching this springtime

sampler, you’ll be amazed at what

beautiful details can be created using

only whole cross stitch – fab for those

new to samplers or looking for a

relaxing, mindful stitch.

This is part 2 of the special SAL

designed by the Historical Sampler

Company especially for The World of

Cross Stitching readers. You’ll find the

third and final part in next month’s

issue (294, June 2020). Go online and

share your progress with your fellow

stitchers on Instagram, Twitter or our

Facebook pages: ‘The World of Cross

Stitching’ and ‘Cross-stitching.com’.

As the saying goes, ‘April showers bring

May flowers’. We love this phrase and were

excited to feature it at the centre of the

design. It perfectly sums up the season of

spring and brings about a feeling of hope.
