This white on white sampler was designed and stitched in the fall of 1993. 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
