Designer's note: Inspired by a 1740 sampler from my collection which is stitched in red and green, it reminds me so much of the holidays. It also has significant portions worked using the ‘double-running’ or Holbein stitch which we generally associate with blackwork techniques. I’ve adapted the original to feature the gifts from the 12 Days of Christmas – still lots of ‘blackwork’ stitching, plus cross stitches, eyelets, and a bit of four-sided stitching.
Stitch Count:
Sampler is 125 x 225
Berry is 127 x 72
Fabric: 37 count Russian Tea Cake linen from Access Commodities (Comparable to DMC 746)
Thread: Gloriana Crimson & Virginia Pine (suggested substitutes: WDW Turkish Red & Chesapeake or DMC 666 & 500)
