DESIGNED BY HISTORICAL SAMPLER COMPANY

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
