Most of the stitches are worked over three linen threads on 45 ct Legacy Linen with luxurious Soie de Paris. The sampler measures 39″h x 13.5″w, and while this may sound daunting, your love and appreciation of Carmen’s sampler grows as you explore the bands and motives. The motives seen in the center section are stitched as Cross-stitch over-two and only the personal information section is stitched over-two. The color combinations of Carmen’s Sampler is soothing and graceful, it truly is a work of art.”

Registered attendees will be asked their preference at a later date.)
