Crystal Waters Sampler - Elements Series - Counted Embroidery Pattern - PDF Download

This sampler was inspired by my drive up-island. I was struck by the beautiful colours of the ocean, islands and mountains that I passed by, and I determined to create a sampler that evoked the scenery. As the sampler developed, I realized that it should become a part of a larger concept, namely that of Water, Air, Fire, and Earth. It is worked on pure white linen and features snowy white Hardanger mountains atop bands of sparkling purple blue waves, foamy white waves, mixed bands of hemstitching, and finally a lovely deep band of bargello at bottom. There is even a pod of whales as seen from a distance! Petite blue crystal beads, white pearls , and aqua blue beads add texture and light to this summer sampler. Stitch it to capture your memories of time spent near or on the beautiful waters of the earth.
