Make a vintage-style sampler to mark the season when
you take part in our fun springtime Stitch-A-Long
a buzz
W
elcome to part one of The
World of Cross Stitching
Stitch-A-Long (SAL) spring
project! Designed by the Historical
Sampler Company, we’re excited
to be sharing the chart for this
gorgeous sampler over three issues,
allowing you the chance to build up
your finished piece during the next
few months and enjoy sharing your
progress with other readers. Stitched
entirely in whole cross stitches, you’ll
have part one finished in no time!
The Historical Sampler Company
is well known for its modern take
on a classic style, and this project is
no exception. The beautifully muted
tones of the special dyed 16-count
Zweigart aida creates a vintage feel
whilst the vibrant thread colours really
pop from the fabric and catch the eye,
especially the rich turquoise and dark
pink shades.

stitchers and embark on this
springtime stitchy journey together!
