BUTTONS: Button pack #DBC-1 from Rosewood Manor. Shown here--these are priced separately and can be purchased separately on the "CHARMS" page. NOTE: there are now substitutions in these button packs. YOU CAN ALSO USE YOUR OWN BUTTONS!
Karen's style is refined, which you can witness in fine flowers and design elements. It creates gentle, lacey effect and elevates the whole piece to a higher level of needlework. A perfectly vintage look is achieved by hand-dyed linen and threads.
The piece uses mostly full cross stitches and backstitches, which are featured and explained in schematics in the booklet. The English Alphabet and all numbers are also provided in schemes to personalize your sampler.
Happy Stitching!
