Make a... mini sampler
NOTE that part 3 of this design
fi ts directly under part 2, without
a gap – the chart and materials
needed for part 1 were in issue
349 of CrossStitcher, and the
chart and materials list for part 2
were in issue 350 (for back
issues, if you missed them, visit
http://www.willowfabrics.com)..)
COMPLETE your stitching,
then neaten the edges of your
fabric with scissors, leaving
USE glue or double-sided
tape to attach the sampler to a
wooden lolly stick. Sew three
small gold bells onto the aida
below the sampler. Then,
using some of your leftover
stranded cotton, make a
plaited cord and tie to the
wooden hanger on both sides.
The fi nished size of your
mini-sampler will be 19x7cm
(7½x2¾in), and the stitch
count 103x39 stitches.
USE two strands for the cross
stitch, two for the backstitch,
and one for the French knots.
