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.

This is an original design by Sandra which we have finished into a pin cushion. The little design would also be delightful as a framed sampler.

The phrase “Roses are red, violets are blue” can be traced as far back as 1590 and a work by Sir Edmund Spenser, “The Faerie Queen”, which features the lines:

It was upon a Sommers shynie day,

When Titan faire beams did display,

In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew, …

She bath’d with roses red, and violets blew,

And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew.

Thread Legend

Linen

The design area is 147 stitches (w) x 103 stitches (h). Our calculations have included a 3″ margin for finishing and framing as a sampler. If making into a pin cushion or other “small”, you may need to allow a different margin for finishing.

The model was stitched on 40ct Buttercream from Lakeside Linens. You should stitch Spring Violets on your preferred type of fabric, colour, and count whether that be Aida, Linaida, or linen. Some suggested alternatives would be Legacy Linen’s Victoria Sponge Cake in 30ct, Corn Tassel in 37ct, Foxtail Millett in 45ct, and Sycamore Seedpod in 53/63ct.
