Nicola has generously made these gorgeous Little Gems available for download now via our store.  The PDF will be emailed to you within 24 hours or you can choose a printed copy.

Marion’s sampler has been reproduced and stitched with the vibrant colours found on the front of the sampler today using a palette of ten colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3 We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger, Fine d’Aubusson wool and DMC.

Whether you are stitching the sampler on 28ct or 56ct fabric, with 1 or 2 strands, you will only require one spool or skein of each colour with the exception of colour #944 Soie d’Alger when using two strands on 28ct.
