We are delighted to present to you an original design. Dancing With Your Heart was inspired by a sampler in Nicola’s private collection and has been designed as a small sampler that can be framed. Although we do not provide finishing instructions for a drum, we have included additional graphs for a drum top and tambourine. There are many excellent videos on YouTube that demonstrate how to construct and finish a drum.
The stitches used in the design are cross stitch over two threads of linen, back stitch or double running stitch, and French knots. Small beads could be used instead of French knots.
Sampler stitch count is 106 W x 116 H. Drum design top stitch count is 51 x 51. Tambourine stitch count is 15 x 15.
The model was stitched on 37 count Wild Honey linen from Legacy Linen. Fabric amounts include 2" sewing allowance to stitch the Drum design.
The little sampler was stitched with a palette of fifteen colours from DMC. We have provided a conversion for Soie d’Alger from Au Ver à Soie. You will only require 1 skein of each colour for each of the thread palettes.
