Tickled Pink - Reproduction Sampler Pattern by Hands Across the Sea Samplers (PDF)

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.

Nicola stitched her primer on Legacy Linen’s Sycamore Seedpod; you should choose either linen or Aida in the count and colour that appeals to you. The project has been designed so that it is suitable for needleworkers of all levels of ability. The stitches are cross stitch over 2 threads and running stitch.

On the version that Nicola stitched the placement of the stitches makes it unsuitable for stitching on Aida. There are many stitches placed off the standard count. Therefore, a second version has been provided for those who prefer stitching on Aida.
