Item: SCTL-109
Type: Cross Stitch Patterns

Note from the designer: "This finely worked sampler features pastoral scenes above and below a lovely verse about friendship. A four-sided honeysuckle border surrounds large baskets of fruits and flowers, a fenced pasture with seven large lazy sheep and an architectural folly in the background. Each corner has a gold eight-pointed star, executed in back and counted satin stitches. The verse surround by a sawtooth counted satin stitch border, is as follows:

Deliberate on all things with thy Friend.
But since Friends grow not thick on every bough,
Nor every Friend unrotten at the Core
First, on thy Friend: deliberate with thyself.
Pause, ponder, sift, not eager in the choice
Nor jealous of the chosen: fixing, fix:
Judge before Friendship, then confide till death.

Stitches used to execute this sampler are cross (over one and two threads of linen), counted satin, and bullion (for the sheep). The stitch count is 248 x 345. The finished size on 35 count linen is 14" x 20". Rated intermediate.
