Country Folk
Lesley Teare 2023 Stitch Along - Subscription
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs

Available as a subscription, Lesley Teare's exciting new SAL will be released monthly in 12 parts throughout 2023. It features 12 delightful scenes portraying Country Folks on their farm,  with a new cross stitch chart becoming available each month.

The design is set in a frame with each box housing one motif. We are revealing a detail in the picture attached so you can get a feel of the cute, detail-rich motifs.

The cross stitch chart includes small areas worked in backstitch, a couple of French knots (which you can substitute with seed beads) as well as some fractional stitches for detail.

The sneak preview pictured (the Apple farm boy) shows the fabric that was selected for stitching, Light Mocha Cashel linen from Zweigart, which lends a natural look to the piece and suits the theme quite well. Feel free to make your own choice of colors though as Lesley Teare's bright palette will stand out against most fabrics.

Get a head-start and downoad both legend and frame chart now so you can source all your supplies. This chart includes the cross stitch frame which we suggest you cross stitch ahead of time so you only need to fit a new motif into each box every month.
