Riverside Sampler
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs

Part of a delightful series of samplers depicting animals in various countryside settings, the Riverside sampler features ribbon-like rows of flying geese, moorhens and ducks, herons and swans, kingfishers and blackbirds among the reeed and wildflowers. We love the delicate tones with bright touches of yellow against the natural fabric background.
 

Includes a couple of fractional stitches for detail. A tutorial is included with the chart for all stitches.
