Family Sampler Folk Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AH-194

Stitch Family Sampler, a counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a round folk-style sampler of blue and golden-yellow stars, snowflakes, hearts and geometric motifs, with space for two sets of initials and a year at the centre. Worked on 100% cotton Aida in just 4 colours of floss, with glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: samplers were once stitched to mark marriages and births, and in folk embroidery every motif is a charm — stars for guidance, hearts for love, snowflakes for purity. Stitchers say a family sampler binds its names together for generations.

Why this kit: if you want a truly personal heirloom, this is it — add your own initials and wedding or family year. With only 4 colours it's calm and easy to stitch. A treasured wedding, anniversary or new-baby gift.

Kit includes: 100% cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 4 colours of embroidery floss on an organizer, glass beads and a beading needle, a printed symbol chart, and instructions in 8 languages.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the symbol chart and placing each cross on the Aida grid with the matching floss colour. Stitch the folk motifs, then chart your own initials and date in the spaces provided.

Finished size: 30×30 cm (11.81×11.81 in). A personal heirloom and a meaningful gift.
