All in a Year sampler
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs
This colorful cross stitch sampler comes with 12 bands of seasonal motifs interspersed with exquisite little quotes:
The grass is growing, spring arrives
(pansies, daffodils, hens and chicks, bluebells and hares)
The sun is here to warm the land
(bees, strawberries, berries, weasels, sparrows and poppies)
The longer days make way for autumn mists
(squirrels, deer, beehives, fallen leaves, acorn)
Winter's wonderland is here once more
(red robins, Christmas roses, snowflakes, rosehips)
To display in your home, hang the banner-shaped pattern kakejiku style (like a Japanese scroll). Fold back and press lateral sides. Roll and fix top and bottom onto a dowel (rounded piece of wood) slightly larger than the stitched piece. Attach a piece of string or ribbon to the extremities of the top dowel for hanging.
The cross stitch pattern includes a couple of fractional stitches for detail. A tutorial is included with the chart for all stitches.
