Lavender Carnation Sampler
Lavender Carnation Sampler is refined and dainty yet surprisingly easy-to-stitch despite it’s sophisticated appearance. A carnation at the center of this design sets the color tone and is surrounded by a dainty polka-dot background. Two hand-poured Amethyst Porphyr Flower beads are anchored with pretty pearls and a delicate “over one” alphabet sits atop and underneath the Carnation. All this surrounded by an adorable checkerboard border makes this design so desirable to stitch. Stitch count: 87w x 87h. Kit includes: pattern, thread, fabric, beads and embellishment packet.
