Dear Stitchers,
Here is a little something which could be whipped up fairly quickly. It’s a 80 x 146 ct Christmas sampler which incorporates 2 sizes of Smyrna Cross stitches, backstitching and “Blackwork” in white. The lovely little “Blackwork” borders around the verse come right from my Pattern Maker Pro library, and have been edited to suit the design. The heart over the i in Christmas would also look lovely done in the deep pink with a tiny charm cross sewn in place.
Happy Stitching!
Remy

Talk with our son without cell phones, ipods, etc at a family meal. Go to lunch with a friend and laugh till our sides hurt. Browse in a good library or bookstore. Go to the theater when both the play and the seats are good. Stay home and do absolutely nothing. Read on my Kindle!

Thanks Remy for this lovely chart.
Merci beaucoup
Elle est ravissante
disregard previous. I figured it out.
The Pdfs are okay. I clicked on the pic in this post b4 and got a chart that was too small.
Nice chart, but it is too small to print properly.
