The Stitcher's RSVP Cross Stitch Sampler Pattern
"Listen, I still want to be invited but I'm not coming."— Most Stitchers? I stumbled upon this meme and I just thought it was so funny. I’d never heard it before but it describes me perfectly, and maybe it describes you, too. :) This piece is stitched on 32-count linen (that's 16 stitches per inch) with two-plies of DMC six-ply cotton embroidery floss. Finished size of design area: 6.25"w x 5.2"h (16cm x 13cm); 100 stitches wide x 83 high on 32-count fabric PLEASE NOTE: Most of this pattern is done in 2 plies of floss over 2 threads of linen, but the text (not the initial cap) is done in 1 ply of floss over 1 thread of linen (or, quarter stitches). You will need: One 9" x 10" (23cm x 25cm) piece of 32-count evenweave linen from Wichelt in Mediterranean Sea (37) 24" (61cm) lengths of various colors of DMC 6-ply cotton embroidery floss One piece of chipboard for creating a floss organizer #24 tapestry needle(s) for cross stitch Embroidery scissors 4" (10cm) embroidery hoop Frame and framing supplies This pattern includes: Stitching instructions Color and black-and-white cross-stitch charts with symbols To learn how to do counted cross stitch, please click here.
