Friendship Sampler - 2026 Market Release - PDF DOWNLOAD

This sampler originally appeared in the Spring 2024 edition of the Just Cross Stitch magazine. The cluster of initials at the bottom represents the names of five friends who stitched together every Thursday evening during the global health crisis. Stitching, like needlework samplers, offers comfort and solace, especially during difficult times. 

Stitchers are encouraged to include the initials of their friends, mothers, grandmothers, or even stitch as a wedding gift with the bride and groom and their parents’ initials.

The Friendship Sampler is suitable for all stitching abilities and contains no speciality stitches. It can be completed on linen or Aida cloth. 

Finished sampler measures 112W X 75H stitches.

Model stitched using DMC one strand over two, on 40-count Albarium linen from Cedar River Linen.
