Cross Stitch PatternsCoco Chanel described simplicity as the key to elegance, and the sampler that Charlotte worked as a child is quite simply elegant. Charlotte's exquisitely laid stitches, worked in black silk, demonstrate that the seven-year-old child was skilled in marking stitch.
Charlotte's monochrome sampler has been reproduced using Soie 100.3 overdyed by Painter's Threads to the shade Waterhouse. We are delighted with the results. Although hard to capture through the lens of a camera, Waterhouse gives depth and movement to the sampler.
Stitched on Overcast by Cedar River Linen. Stitch count is 212 x 267. Finished size is 10.6" x 13.35" for 40 count.
An alternative solid silk would be Soie 100.3 #774 for a slightly mellowed black. You might prefer to stitch with a solid black for a bolder look.
