Summer Storm Cross Stitch Sampler Kit

Summer Storm Cross Stitch Sampler KitAll week here in northwest Oregon we've had scorching hot weather and blazing sun broken by the onset of sudden cloud cover, wind, and thunder rumbling long and low across the sky. I have been thrilled with these summer storms. They are exactly like I remember from my childhood in the Midwest, and are what I tried to capture in this little cross stitch design. In my front garden here at home, today on Midsummer Day, my dahlias and daisies are just

crisp days

Six colors of 6-ply DMC cotton embroidery floss: #168 (gray)

inexpensive comforter from Ikea (though you can use batting

and sizes of needles to use

Two 8" x 8" (20cm x 20cm) pieces of cotton muslin

With this kit

A Czech glass faceted rondelle bead tops a small cluster of stormy-blue-colored bellflowers

This little wreath filled with winter greens works up quickly and finishes with ease

For her boots:

Full alphabet and number charts with blank worksheet for personalizing with your own choice of name and date (or whatever you'd like to say)

I really hope you enjoy it
