â–º CROSS STITCH CHARTS BIRTH SAMPLER

Use our ALPHABET

We’ve included an alphabet so you can personalise this design.To make surÄ™ thac the name sits centrally on the design its a good idea to draw the letters on a piece of graph paper first.This way, any mistakes you make can be rubbed out rather than unpicked.You can then personalise the design knowing that its going to look perfect.

Stitching TIP

Be adventurous when choosing your frame and mount.We chose a pink frame with a green mount to echo the colours used in the sampler. When seÅ‚ecting colours lt‘s always best to choose ones that compliment the piece of stitching rather than the room youYe going to hang it in.This way, if you re-decorate your room or decide to move the picture to another area of the house, it will still look great.

Samplers for Everyone

Stitching IDEAS

You can use the different motifs from this sampler and add them to various baby accessories.Any of the animals or the doli would look great on a babys bib, whilst the pretty border would be ideaÅ‚ for edging a soft, fluffy towel or hooded bathrobe.
