Designer Notes: 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. Also included is a ‘mini-sampler’ version which I have shown finished as a berry!

PLEASE NOTE: this item is a PRE-ORDER item, which means it will not ship on the typical shipping timeline. Orders of this chart will begin shipping at the beginning of September, after. If your order contains other, non-pre-order items, they will be held until your entire order is ready to ship.
