This sampler is brought to you as part of a series of designs that are available only as a PDF download by Hands Across the Sea Samplers.

Hands Across the Sea Samplers tell us "Amy’s sampler has been a joy to reproduce and stitch. The 12-year-old child certainly had a good eye for colour and design. The sampler is a riot of colours, yet harmonious. Amy’s stitching is exquisite, and she has taken great care in the execution of her work."

There are 4 versions of the PDF. You will be able to download any or all of the following versions of the pdf and the graph:

Version 1 ~ A twelve-page colour chart.
Version 2 ~ A one-page colour chart (intended to be viewed/used on your tablet, phone, laptop, or computer).
Version 3 ~ A twelve-page black and white symbol chart.
Version 4 ~ A one-page black and white symbol chart (intended to be viewed/used on your tablet, phone, laptop, or computer).
The design is suitable for intermediate and advanced needleworkers but is not beyond a determined beginner. The stitches used are cross stitch over 1 and 2 threads and satin stitch.

Stitch count is 209 W x 222 H.

Amy’s sampler has been reproduced using a palette of fifteen colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC.  If you are using two strands of Soie d’Alger on fabric lower than 36ct, you will require two skeins of three colours.

The model was stitched on 56 count hand dyed linen. We have suggested a few counts in similar linen colours as choices to stitch on.
