This delicate stitchery is meant as a companion piece to the White Christmas Sampler. It is primarily white on white, with soft touches of spring colour. There are instructions to transform this into a Birth Sampler if you wish, but be sure to add more material to accommodate the extra bands of lettering. The stitches in this sampler are illustrated with diagrams. White Christmas, Child of Spring, Summer Dreams, and Autumn Romance are all same size for the Four Seasons Series.
