Wedding sampler

W

hether it’s a

sprinkle of kisses

or a cup of

patience, this elegant sampler

is a stunning visual reminder

of the ingredients that make

a happy marriage. Expressing

beautiful sentiments with a

touch of humour, this project

will warm your heart as you

stitch – and it’s sure to delight

the lucky recipients. Worked on

14-count aida, with fractionals

for the intricate motifs and

a scattering of French knots

for texture, you’ll while away

many hours on this gorgeous

design. We love how the soft,

muted colours complement

the heartwarming words, plus

with the handy alphabet it is

easy to personalise. The sweet

congratulations card makes an

ideal accompaniment.
