With Needle and Thread a Cross Stitch Pattern by Jan Hicks Creates

Stitch Count: 200 x 200 14 ct (over 1) or 28 ct (over 2) - 14.3 x 14.3 in. 16 ct (over 1) or 32 ct (overt 2) - 12.5 x 12.5 in. 18 ct (over 1) or 36 ct (over 2) - 11.1 x 11.1 in. 40 ct (over 2) - 10 x 10 in. When I think of everything that stitching has brought to my life, I am rather amazed. Friendships, love, beauty and more. We all stitch for different reasons, and find different comforts in our handwork. I hope that this Quaker sampler brings to mind many of the beautiful things that stitching brings to your life. The model is stitched on Forbidden Fiber Co. Toasted Coconut 40 ct using the called for overdyed cotton floss. I encourage you to choose two of your favorite colors for this piece. Make sure the colors for the words are a strong contrast to the color of the motifs so they stand out. A note on the floss: I used almost 2 full skeins of Really Teally using 1 strand on 40 ct. I did very little frogging on this piece. Be sure to purchase plenty of thread to be sure you get the same dye lot.
