FABRIC USED: Picture This Plus, 32ct Belfast, Lupine 

NOTE: The fabric needs to be dark so the lace motifs will show.

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!
