Cross-Stitch Sampler Pattern SOMEOF MY FAVORITE THINGS by Karen Kluba from Rosewood Manor, S-1354
This booklet should or could be titled--JUST A FEW OF MY FAVROITE THINGS! I love over-dyed fabrics and threads, flowers, birds, baskets and lacy borders! The sampler was designed to celebrate 25 years of Rosewood Manor! This 10-page booklet includes two extra borders, a small to finish as a needlebook cover and a lovely WELCOME! The "smaller" samplers in the piece can easily be stitched separately! PLUS, the booklet includes several BE CREATIVE! ideas.
DESIGN SIZE: 278 x 149 stitches
FABRIC: 28ct "Sarah" from Grace Note Fabrics
FLOSS: DMC--1 skein each color EXCEPT where noted #30, #31, #32, #150, #322, #646,

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!
