Ebenezer's Christmas
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is undoubtedly a holiday classic - here's my interpretation of some of the famous lines from the end of the story. Not only does this make a lovely Christmas sampler (and I'm showing it stitched on 40ct gauze and also on linen), but the design is comprised of three separate sections which are easily worked separately.
The chartpak includes details on all six models I've done to inspire you! Each example is stitched with a different combination of fabric and threads to give you lots of ideas. There is no silk gauze included in this chartpak; there are just too many possibilities. See below for details on what I used on each of my models.
Also available - companion linen and silk berries!
