Autumn Sampler

14 ct, stitched over 1

Stitch up your favourite things with this sparkly fun seasonal sampler, sure to warm you with each stitch. Autumn is a magical time of year when the trees come alive in vibrant hues of orange and red - signalling the end of summer, but the start of one of the prettiest times of the year. Don your jumpers and cosy knits as the seasons change and we prepare for stitchy hibternation. Durene's autumnal sampler embodies this time of year with 13 orange hues, a jumper, pumpkin, wet weather gear and hot drinks. Stitched on 14-count aida with whole stitches and backsttich, this design will be a joy to finish. And, look out for the decorative scattering of French knots - easily replaced with seed beads if you want to add more pretty embellishments. But the fun part is adding some shiny sequins to decorate your piece with sparkles of bronze and red - just turn to page 28 for a helpful 'How to'. Start stitching this lovely sampler today and have it ready to show off as the trees reveal their own vibrant colours of the season.
