This gorgeous and detailed cross stitch pattern by Hands on Design is inspired by the work of chalk artist Priscilla Blain. The pattern comes with two charts: one for the main sampler design, plus one for a matching spring sign.
The chart calls for a mix of thread from Weeks Dye Works, Classic Colorworks, and The Gentle Arts, but DMC conversions for all are provided. The model was stitched on hand-dyed 32-count slate fabric. Chalkboard black Aida or linen would make a fine substitution.
