Holly and Ivy Samplera Cross Stitch Pattern by Teresa Wentzler

A pennant-shaped sampler featuring the words to a traditional English Christmas carol instead of an "alphabet". A border of beribboned holly and ivy surrounds a specialty stitch white-work border accented with pearl metallic and white beads. Surrounding the over-one stitched carol wording are Celtic knotwork motifs, and various specialty stitch bands accented with more metallics and beads. An alphabet is provided for personalization.
