Day Sampler! Stitch
this fun and quick sampler for Christmas Day! We’re
celebrating the day of Christmas in all the traditional
ways. What a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas! At the
top of the sampler is our town, with Santa and his reindeer
flying overhead. The next panel shows the living room where
we hang our stockings so Santa can find them as we sleep. In
the next panel, we’ve been to church , we’ve opened our
presents, so now we go for a gentle walk. Next is a panel
showing our Christmas dinner..! What fun and laughter, as
children settle down to their toys, and the adults relax
after theturkey!
The dividing bands between the panels are also in on the
fun; holly with berries, greenery with red hearts and
garlands, specialty stitches like drawn thread and the
optional Hardanger motif below.. what a joyful Christmas
sampler! If you’ve always wanted to stitch something to
celebrate the fun and joy of Christmas Day, come stitch this
one..! I’ve stitched mine on Raw Linen, but you can choose
your own coloured linen, using the same silks in bright
colours ! Frame or fashion into a bellpull and hang this in
your hall at Christmastime! - Thea

Sorting
The Threads in your Accessory Pack: Remember to
sort in daylight near a window, not under artificial light
indoors, as the colours change with the colour of the
lightbulbs we use. Each floss has a different number of
strands in each thread length. This helps you differentiate
the different colours in your pack. Needlepoint Inc. silk
floss has 8 strands per length The Kreinik Mori has 6
strands per length The Gloriana Overdyed Silk has 12 thin
strands per length. Dinky Dyes has 6 strands per length.FYI:We
noticed that some colours have been divided into two
lengths. This can happen if a colour requires 1.5 yards. Our
kitmaker might include one 1 yard length and one 0.5 yard
length, so don't get confused if one colour has more than
one length of thread. We hope this extra information will
help you sort your threads more easily!
