Christmas Pudding Sampler

14 ct, stitched over 1

Treat yourself this festive season with this oh-so-sweet dessert sampler - you won't be able to resist! From gingerbread men to mince pies, piping hot chocolate to pretty little cupcakes, there's something to tempt all taste buds on this scrummy sampler. But, the star of the show has to be the classic Christmas pudding. The 25th December just wouldn't be complete without it, and Durene's delicious-looking version is certainly worthy of centre stage on this design - and on any dining table, for that matter. Dripping with lashings of brandy butter and adorned with bright sprigs of holly, the simple-yet-decorative cake stand it sits on adds a real touch of elegance to the overall feel. Hang your version in a kitchen or dining room and encourage your family, and your guests, to enjoy the festive season to the fullest - quite literally. This detailed sampler is one you'll love to get your teeth into, especially since it's smaller motifs give that instant sense of satisfaction as you complete each one. Just try not to get too hungry while stitching it!
