LJT2022 Spring sampler

22nd Mar 2022

How exciting to be starting another of my sampler SALs. I do hope you will enoy this Spring one as much as our Happy Day designs. Perhaps fewer smiles, but hopefully as enjoyable. For our starter, I have attached the basic chart which shows the outer green border line and the guide lines in blue which denote where each motif is placed. The blue outlined areas are not uniform in size throughout so please take care when stitching these.

Next Wednesday...

And, my last addition to my countryside samplers, the fourth one, the seaside. Pufffins, grebe, commorant, oyster catchers, crabs and seagulls with a few flora to soften the design. Hope you like the group.
