Celebrate the peace and beauty of winter with Waxing Moon’s newest sampler. This is one of my larger designs, but it stitches up quite easily and quickly for its size. The inspiration for this design came from the vintage Ideals magazines that I remember reading as a kid, with their simple but lovely poems and illustrations. They always did such a good job of capturing the beauty of the seasons.

Wintertime Sampler is available now as a printable E-Pattern in the Waxing Moon Etsy shop: WINTERTIME SAMPLER E-PATTERN What you will receive when you purchase this pattern is a 6 page PDF file that contains a color picture, supply list, a black & white version of the chart, a color version of the chart, and stitching instructions. The file is optimized for high quality printing on a home printer. You simply open it, print, and you’re ready to start your project!

The printed paper version of the pattern will be available in shops next week. Happy stitching!
