I found this sweet marking sampler in an antique shop in Eguisheim, France. My original name for this design was La Petite Rouge and I had every intention of making it a little red sampler. But then my eyes fell on the lovely silks from AlmondMMs, and I decided to stitch it in turquoise (Spruce) and cream (Snow Drift). I switched between the two colors as I worked on each section. As l was stitching, I decided I needed a pop of color, and added the coral silk (Bayberry), and decided to use that only for the numbers. This is when the name "Make It Your Own" was born.
The model is stitched on 40 ct Mason Linens Carpet Bag Med Light using AlmondMMs silks. I deliberately did not provide a key for this chart, so you will feel free to "Make It Your Own"!
Please honor the hours of work and creativity that I put into my designs. Do not distribute printed or digital copies of my designs.
