Red Letter Sampler

September 21, 2023 By patgeary

When I first saw Red Letter Sampler by Threadwok Primitives posted in a Facebook group, I knew I wanted to stitch it. I ordered it and it arrived quickly. Nan’s charts are color and hard for me to see but Nan graciously included a black and white copy even though I had forgotten to ask for it.

I chose a piece of 16ct Parchment aida that I had in my stash and the recommended floss. The DMC colors for the two shades of red are a very good match.

  • GAST Country Redwood (DMC 3777) 1 skein was not quite enough so used the DMC for the last few stitches
  • GAST Wood Trail (DMC 3781)
  • GAST Sanguine (DMC 3773) excellent match

Started Stitching: September 15, 2023
Finished Stitching: September 21, 2023

Not sure how I am going to finish it as yet as on 16ct it is 7 5/8 x 4 1/8 which will make a larger pin pillow.

    It is a beauty, Pat! I am glad you shared your finish as I had seen the chart, but straddled the fence on getting it. Enjoy your weekend!
