NEW from NASHVILLE NEEDLEWORK MARKET 2020 - Little Birds cross stitch by Blackbird Designs.
With a stitch count of 395w x 339h this is a BIG sampler but beautiful. The recommended fabric is 36ct Heartland by Picture This Plus. Finished size of just the stitched area would be 22w x 19h. The recommened threads are Classic Colorworks and Weeks Dye Works but DMC conversions are included. The chart calls for stitching with 1 strand of floss over two threads so if you are using a different fabric or two strands as I will, you will need additional floss.
14/28ct - 28 1/4 x 24 1/4 plus 4 inches on all sides = 36 1/4 x 32 1/4
16/32ct - 24 3/4 x 21 1/4 plus 4 inches on all sides = 32 3/4 x 29 1/4
18/36ct - 22 x 18 7/8 plus 4 inches on all sides = 30 1/8 x 26 7/8
20/40ct - 19 3/4 x 17 plus 4 inches on all sides = 27 3/4 x 25
