Winter Flowers Sampler
Stitch a beautiful seasonal sampler!
Summer is arriving with the promise of picnics, watermelon, and family vacations. However, summer’s hot days by the pool will soon give way to autumn’s stunning colors, then winter’s cold breath.
Let’s slowly stitch this seasonal sampler together from our warm homes while winter rages outside. This 4″ x 10″ (10.16cm x 25.4cm) sampler has five drawn thread bands consisting of Old Hedebo embroidery and Russian groundwork, plus three bands with different thread twists. The bands are separated with surface stitches, silver threads, and sparkling beads to add accents. The model was stitched on 24-count congress cloth, but can be the same size at 25-count linen.

What are Virtual Education Courses?
Virtual Education Courses are EGA’s new interactive offerings. By staying in the comfort of your own home, you won’t have to deal with airline issues, nor pay for a hotel. And even though you’re not in a classroom together, you will still enjoy the companionship of stitching with other like-minded members.
