I have always loved the song at Christmas, especially the feelings of warmth and nostalgia that the words evoke. This design, with its touches of sparkle and glints of silver, is a stitcher's dream of a White Christmas! There is a wealth of texture and opulence, when you use varying shades of white. Try stitching this on a darker coloured linen, for contrast! White Christmas, Child of Spring, Summer Dreams, and Autumn Romance are all same size for the Four Seasons Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64w X 125h (4\" w X 7.75\" h)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32ct white Belfast  \u003cbr\u003e(\u003cstrong\u003eCut fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e  10\" w X 14\" h) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Materials\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Medici wool 7853\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite 2mm pearl beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC Perle Cotton #8 white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC Perle Cotton #12 white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Blending Filament 001 silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Blending Filament 001HL silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Blending Filament 032 pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC floss white, 318\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32ct Belfast Linen - white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#24 tapestry needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#10 short beading needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitches used in this Sampler:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHemstitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFan Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlgerian Eye Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackstitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Sided Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerringbone Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrench Knots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrapped Herringbone Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond Eye Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnit Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmyrna Cross Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlaced Hemstitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolbein Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified Hardanger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoves Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"PDF Pattern Purchase and Download Instructions\" href=\"..\/pages\/instructions-pdf-pattern-purchase-and-download\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePDF Pattern Purchase and Download Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright Reminder:\u003c\/strong\u003e As a quick reminder, all of our PDF patterns are copyright protected and – as with all our patterns – are not permitted to be copied or distributed.

Adorable, bright scarlet Cardinals really catch your eye in this adorable Sampler on striking blue-green cashel linen, and the matching Sugarplum Ornament with Hardanger flounces, resembles a delightful wrapped sweet candy ornament for your tree. They are both stitched with brilliant silk flosses in reds, pinks, blue-greens, and bright white smooth silky perlee, gold metallic threads, as well as a sprinkling of little turquoise beads for sparkle. The sampler can be stitched in a few evenings, including the Hardanger motifs at the bottom and can then be made up very easily and quickly into a bellpull. The sampler can also be framed and displayed throughout the year. The petit Cross Stitched birds are fun and easy to do, and would make into an adorable ornament by themselves. Another idea for an ornament or mini-bellpull, is to stitch only the Hardanger at the bottom of the sampler and hang it on the tree with some tassels. Inside this leaflet there are easy directions for bellpull finishing. Never has finishing been this easy! Stitch and finish these designs with a song in your heart this Christmas!

I designed this as a companion to Ravenhill Farm, my second small farm sampler. I’ve designed these farms in the same style as the small Victorian Garden Samplers, except that they are wider and larger. There is a wonderful Tree Farm only a few miles from my house, and I just love to see their colourful cart parked at the entrance to their drive, inviting families to come and get their Christmas tree. The layout of the farm is different, and our snow is only here for a day or two, but it’s just as cosy as the Christmas Tree farms you see in your ‘neck of the woods’! These folks help us enjoy the scent of pine or balsam in our living rooms, without harming our forests. At the top of the sampler you’ll see a log cabin covered with sparkling lights and glowing windows, a myriad of different trees, cardinals flying hither and yon are all part of the charm. The chickadees perch in the birch trees, as the sleigh bells ring, are you listening!? The Jingle Bell Farm exists in my imagination along with all the childhood memories and wishes that go along with Christmas. I’ve included many specialty stitches in the center tree farm area, and enjoyed sprinkling the entire scene with snowy specialty stitches! Parts of this design can be stitched separately, and can be used in many different ways. Just like in the Ravenhill farm Cross Stitched scenes, the top and bottom scenes are both wonderful as stand-alone designs, perhaps adding words using a petit alphabet to spell out Merry Christmas, or My heart is home for Christmas. The wee trees are so suitable for that special “Christmas Memory Book” or stitched up quickly for your homemade Christmas Cards. Many motifs can easily be stitched into Christmas Ornaments or Gift Bags. I’m sure your imagination can supply lots more uses for the different elements of this cheerful sampler. Perhaps you can make the lower part of this sampler into a stocking!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackground colour: You may notice there are photos of the same design stitched on two different colours of linen. Originally I stitched my model on the Putty coloured linen to match the Ravenhill Herb Farm.. However, I very much wanted to see how the snow would look on the Smokey Pearl linen I used for the Winter Garden sampler. So, after mine was finished, Lisa laid out the pattern, and sent it to our new stitcher, Linda B. Linda stitched the top, and cover model on Smokey Pearl linen, and we're so delighted with it that we used it for our the leaflet cover model.. thank you Linda for stitching it so quickly!! :) Now you get to see the two different background colours.. and choose for yourself, which one you'd like- Personally, I like the way the white snow really stands out on the grey colour, but I love the rustic hominess of the putty colour too.. !!

Even in bigger cities, there are smaller neighbourhood events just like this, and I wanted to remember the feeling that these events give each one of us. The townsfolk of my imaginary little town gather together as they chat, eat, and wait for their friends. Christmas spirit fills the air as kids play happily, and town folk get ready for the season. When everyone has gathered, I imagine the gasps of delight as the Town Tree blazes forth after dusk, and the fun and laughter as Santa Claus arrives by sleigh with his reindeer (or by horse drawn carriage). I imagined lots of snow, ice skating on the river or pond nearby, and a colourful picture of kids playing, and carollers singing while the country folk arrived. This sampler is the result of my flight of Christmas fancy! At the top of the sampler you’ll see a farmhouse with sparkling lights and glowing windows, a small mill nearby, a lighthouse to shine a beacon for those who will arrive by water, a happy child just finishing her snowman before being collected by her parents sleighing on their way into town. In the middle section, the first stanza of H.W. Longfellows’ poem “Christmas Bells” are surrounded by cardinals and specialty stitched snowflakes. This poem was written in 1864 at Christmas during the American civil war, and is still sung by carollers to remind ourselves of peace and good will. At the bottom of the sampler my imaginary small town is depicted, including church and schoolhouse, as snow lies round about. Folks are skating, singing, and enjoying their friendship with each other. These three different parts of this design can be stitched separately as stand-alone designs perhaps create your own wording. Or stitch it as is, to create a sampler that embodies the best of Christmas spirit in your town!

My little verse can be changed so that the first phrase reads:“My Winter Garden” if you don’t want to emphasize Christmas. I used some delicious overdyed silk ribbon and flosses, as well as a variety of richly coloured silk floss for the stitching. I then added lustrous pearls, seed beads, sequins, silk ribbons and sparkling metallics for this new Christmas Gazebo sampler. Adorable little red cardinals frolic all through this sampler, adding joy and happiness to the quiet gentle scene. You will learn how to work the following stitches, including the Herringbone, Honeycomb Hemstitch, simple silk ribbon, Rhodes Heart, Diamond Eyelet, Plait Stitch, Smyrna Crosses, and various filling stitches for the Hardanger area which forms the lower band.

When I was a child in Holland and then in Canada, the emphasis at Christmas was on the celebration of the Nativity story. Since we’d already received our presents from 'St. Nicholas' early in December, we were very focused on the coming of the baby Jesus! Usually, a week before Christmas, we decorated our new Christmas tree with sparkling ornaments and white candles. We would hang pine and fir boughs on the walls. But I wasn't tall enough to decorate the tree or walls, so in our family, my special joy and privilege was arranging the Creche. On our best side table, I would lay fluffy white cotton and some sparkles to make the snow shine. Then I added the barn with Mary and Joseph, the Shepherds and their sheep, the three Kings with a camel, and a gorgeous floating Angel hanging above. Finally, after much shifting of the figures so they were all arranged to perfection, I carefully and gently placed the little baby Jesus in his creche in the center. This Nativity scene of peace and love was the centerpiece of our house and it added such deep meaning to the scent of pine and candles, cookies baking, and the tinkle of bells and carol singing. For me, Christmas was the most magical hopeful time of the year. I hope that this sampler will bring that peace and beauty to you as you stitch this sampler with all its rich emotional imagery of the story of the First Christmas! - Thea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign area\u003c\/strong\u003e: 329h x 72w (23.5” high x 5.1” wide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28ct Cashel Linen - Smokey Pearl \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30” high x 11” wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloriana silk #135 “Bellagio” -

There are actually thirteen distinct motifs in this design which lends itself to being finished as a long bellpull although you can also frame it of course! All motifs plus the Hardanger Heart can be made into various shaped ornaments to decorate a special tree at Christmas. The words are usually sung as a carol. Some scholars have suggested that it is a poem of Christian instruction dating to the 16th century religious wars in England, with hidden references to the basic teachings of the Faith. Many of the symbols of Christianity were not originally religious, including even the present date of Christmas, but were appropriated by Christians from the culture at the time a way to worship and proclaim their beliefs secretly. Now, when you hear what you once thought was a secular song, you will also be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas!

At Christmas time, we would sing carols just like “Here We Come a-Caroling”, the old English Wassail song to wish for good health for all. Singing special Christmas music usually began in September of each year, with practices at school and church. I found that singing together in harmony brought such joyful feelings of togetherness! When I was a child at home, my brother and I often sang around the piano while our Dad played and Mom made dinner. Singing music became such a focus during the winter, that we often continued to enjoy it long after New Year. At the top of this special Chirstmas sampler dedicated to the power of song, a little residential neighbourhood of houses nestles in the snow with Santa flying overhead. A colourful scene of old fashioned carol singers takes center stage. The ‘Wassail Song’ verse is interspersed with bands of specialty stitches and lace throughout the sampler. Then, below, more colourful snowy houses, this time surrounding a small Church. Bright red cardinals flit in the trees of the village. For me, Christmas was the most magical hopeful time of the year and singing brought extra feelings of joy. I hope that this sampler will bring that peace and beauty to you as you stitch it, remembering the sweet sound of Carols at your house at Christmas! - Thea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 333h x 72w (23.75” high x 5.1” wide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28ct Cashel Linen - Smokey Pearl:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30” high x 11” wide for framing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Materials\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess Soie Perlee #blanc -

At the top of this sampler you can see Santa’s sleigh flying across the northern sky over the icebergs and over the natural tundra where reindeer live. I was going to add some polar bears, but there just wasn’t the room! There are some pine and fir trees pictured as I remember my child’s version. Below this scene is a nice band of white lace, and then begins my verse accompanied by little scenes of snowmen, trees and little forest creatures. Another band of lace, and you see some of the toys that Santa might have in his bag.. toys the elves have built of course! There’s a doll carriage, a sailboat, a doll, a top, some wrapped presents and a toy train. Then the last part of the verse, and the bottom of the sampler shows the entire village.. just as I saw it in my child’s imagination. Santa is looking over his list, as Mrs. Claus is wishing him a good journey, giving him a few last minute warnings about the weather and what dangers to watch out for. She worries about him on these yearly journeys! The elves are feeding the reindeer so they are strong and they are looking forward to their journey. They’ve been training all year and they are anticipating all the happy boys and girls this evening as they make their way on their whirlwind trip around the world. This is a sampler of childhood joys and memories.. and I hope they remind you of yours. As you stitch this sampler, you will encounter some simple specialty stitches, like diamond eyelets, smyrna crosses, lazy daisies, and others. Just go to the back of the leaflet to see the diagrams. I hope you enjoy stitching your memories of Santa Claus!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96w x 219h (6.85” wide x 15.6” high)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28ct Cashel Linen - Misty Blue OR Smokey Pearl:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13” wide x 22” high)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloriana silk #117 “Elizabethan Green” - greens dk - 2 yds (DMC #934)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloriana silk #172 “Arroyo” - grey browns - 2 yds (DMC #451)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #0523 - grey - 1 yd (DMC #3747)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #0923 - yellow - 2 yds (DMC #3822)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #5055 - blue med - 1.5 yds (DMC #931)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #6126 - antique lavender - 1 yd (DMC #3740)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik #4 Braid #002 - metallic gold - 2.5 yds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0402 - grass green - 1 yd (DMC #320)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloriana silk #206 “Olivine” - olive greens med - 1 yd (DMC #936)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #0103 - flesh - 1 yd (DMC #3713)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #0553 - blue med lt - 1 yd (DMC #813)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #0733 - yellow lt - 1 yd (DMC #3046)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess Au ver a Soie #3334 - purple med - 2 yds (DMC #210)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0155 - blue green dk - 2 yds (DMC #500)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0503 - red - 1.5 yds (DMC #498)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0967 - grey brown dk - 2 yds (DMC #844)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinky Dyes #069 “Swan Valley” - blue greens med - 1 yd (DMC #522)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinky Dyes #092 “Eungella” - greys - 4.5 yds (DMC #3787)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #0325 - salmon - 1 yd (DMC #3712)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #8050 - black - 3.5 yds (DMC #310)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0126 - brick red dk - 1 yd (DMC #3858)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0324 - blue dk - 1 yd (DMC #3768)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0974 - brown - 1 yd (DMC #640)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill Hill seed beads #00557 - gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiny heart beads - red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #8000 - white (5 - 5 yard skeins) (DMC #white)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZweigart 28ct Cashel Linen - Smoky Pearl OR Misty Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC #8 Perle Cotton (thick twist) - white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC #12 Perle Cotton (thin twist) - white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#24 tapestry needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#10 short beading needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitches used in this Sampler:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLazy Daisy Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyelet Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond Ray Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross Stitch over ONE fabric thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrench Knot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin Stitch triangles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond Eyelet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmyrna Cross \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"PDF Pattern Purchase and Download Instructions\" href=\"..\/pages\/instructions-pdf-pattern-purchase-and-download\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePDF Pattern Purchase and Download Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright Reminder:\u003c\/strong\u003e As a quick reminder, all of our PDF patterns are copyright protected and – as with all our patterns – are not permitted to be copied or distributed.

I was inspired by the Holiday Season but this beautiful sampler can be stitched and enjoyed all winter long. In this sampler, between bands of specialty stitches, flowers, and snowy white lace, people of all ages are shown playing and enjoying themselves outdoors; skiing on a high mountain, throwing snowballs, skating, and sleighing. We never seem to get enough snow on the west coast, and when I think of winter, I always hope for a few days of snow. I can then sit with my stitching in my favorite chair by the fire, and dream and stitch away by my window overlooking the fields and trees covered with a white sparkly blanket. Everything always looks so beautiful! I love to see people all bundled up in colourful hats and coats, as they come out of their houses to play in the snow. The sampler is designed on a beautiful stormy grey fabric and I used colourful silks and overdyes to create an atmosphere of fun and excitement. I know you’ll have fun stitching this after your winter excursions, or on those precious winter mornings by a sunny window! I hope that this sampler will remind you of the glorious fun, happiness and beauty of the winter season! - Thea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 293h x 64w (20.9” high x 4.6” wide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28ct Cashel Linen - Smokey Pearl \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27” high x 11” wide for framing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloriana silk #115 “Topiary” -

Saint Michael was the stieres-man, Saint John sate in the horn. Our Lord harped and Lady sang and all the bells of heaven they rang..On Christ’s Sonday at morn”  \u003c\/em\u003eLove Christmas Carols? Have a look at this lovely seafaring Christmas Sampler. This beautiful sampler is inspired by the earliest printed version of our modern Christmas Carol, “I Saw Three Ships”! A snowy winter sampler includes the words from the 17th century, perhaps from Derbyshire, England although many versions of this carol were sung since then. I love the references to the three ships, the Lord and Lady of the manor, the bells of all the churches ringing on Christ’s birthday. All are reflected in the motifs in this unusual sampler! You’ll be stitching with a wide variety of threads, including perle cottons, three different overdyed silk flosses and loads of solid silk flosses. I’ve included at least seven different colours of sparkling beads. At the top is a scene showing one of the tall masted sailing ships lying alongside the pier. Below there are Scotch Stitches, drawn thread stitches, and Arrow Stitches. A beautiful Compass Rose highlights the middle section.. along with a charming band showing all three ships decorated with sparkling lights as they might during todays’ Christmas Sailpast. There is another band of Bargello waves, and a small petit point medallion showing the Lord playing his harp and the Lady singing the carol. Alongside you will find Single Cross Eyelets, more drawn thread. At the bottom there’s a rendition of the old Mystic town, with tall buildings close to the water, and the church where the bells ring on Christ’s morn. Bargello waves and an optional band of Hardanger completes this sampler. What a wonderful sampler! You’re going to love stitching this wonderful historical carol from the seventeenth and eighteen centuries, a depiction of a seaport, plus some interesting specialty stitches. – Thea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64w x 198h (4.6” wide x 14.1” high)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28ct Cashel Linen - Misty Blue:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10” wide x 19” high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC #12 Perle Cotton - white (thin twist)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC #12 Perle Cotton #932 - ant blue (thin twist)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloriana silk #129 “Baby Corn” - yellows (DMC #372\/#676)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloriana silk #206 “Olivine” - greens (DMC #936)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinky Dyes #011 “Coral Seas” - blues and greens lt (DMC #3325\/#3841\/#3761)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #4044 - turquoise (DMC #3810)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #8050 - black (DMC #310)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #8055 - grey med (DMC #646)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC Floss #931 - antique blue med\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik #4 Braid #0032 metallic - white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik #4 Braid #0684 metallic - turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #2014 - yellow gold (DMC #834)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #4077 - green dk (DMC #520)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #5107 - blue dk (DMC #3842)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #8000 - white (DMC #white)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0967 - grey brown dk (DMC #844)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC #8 Perle Cotton - white (thick twist)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC #8 Perle Cotton #930 - antique blue dk (thick twist)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC #8 Perle Cotton #932 - antique blue lt (thick twist)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #0113 - flesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKreinik Mori #2016 - gold dk (DMC #3829)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0226 - red (DMC #815)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0925 - antique blue dk (DMC #930)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedlepoint Inc. #0974 - brown (DMC #640)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSJ Designs 2mm pearl beads - white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSJ Designs petite bead #1813 - red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSJ Designs petite bead #1819 - orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSJ Designs petite bead #1820 - blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSJ Designs petite bead #1837 - yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSJ Designs petite bead #1840 - turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSJ Designs petite bead #1844 - lavender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZweigart 28ct Cashel Linen - Ice Blue \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#24 tapestry needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#10 short beading needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitches used in this Sampler:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Stitch\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross Stitch over ONE fabric thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrowhead Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin Stitch wave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified Rice Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptive Scotch Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Cross Eyelet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyelet Hemstitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBargello Wave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoneycomb Hemstitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasted Arrowhead Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerringbone Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKloster Blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlgerian Eyelet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoven Bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDove's Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartial Greek Cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"PDF Pattern Purchase and Download Instructions\" href=\"..\/pages\/instructions-pdf-pattern-purchase-and-download\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePDF Pattern Purchase and Download Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright Reminder:\u003c\/strong\u003e As a quick reminder, all of our PDF patterns are copyright protected and – as with all our patterns – are not permitted to be copied or distributed.

We’re celebrating the day of Christmas in all the traditional ways. At the top of the sampler is our town, with Santa and his reindeer flying overhead. The next panel shows the living room where we hang our stockings so Santa can find them as we sleep. In the next panel, we’ve been to church , we’ve opened our presents, so now we go for a gentle walk. Next is a panel showing our Christmas dinner..! What fun and laughter, as children settle down to their toys, and the adults relax after the turkey! The dividing bands between the panels are also in on the fun; holly with berries, greenery with red hearts and garlands, specialty stitches like drawn thread and the optional Hardanger motif below.. what a joyful Christmas sampler! If you’ve always wanted to stitch something to celebrate the fun and joy of Christmas Day, come stitch this one..! I’ve stitched mine on Raw Linen, but you can choose your own coloured linen, using the same silks in bright colours !
