Nicola has generously made this pattern available through my store as a PDF only.
Rachel’s delightful sampler has been reproduced with a palette of only 8 colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger (SDA) and DMC below. You will only need one spool or skein of each colour with the exception of SDA 1824 (3 skeins) and 1025 (2 skeins) when stitching on 28ct and DMC 3815 (2 skeins) and 3831 (2 skeins) when stitching on 28 to 36ct linen.
LINEN SIZES
The model was stitched on Zweigart-based linen overdyed to the shade “Crème Brûlée” by Tabbycat Linen. Please note that the linen should not be heavily mottled as it will distract from the beautiful colour palette that Rachel used for her sampler.
The sampler can be worked on Aida, Linaida, or linen.
The design area is 187 stitches (w) x 151 stitches (h). Our calculations have included a 3″ margin for finishing and framing.
