2022 Spring SAL: Hello Spring Cross Stitch Pattern

$16.00 USD

Welcome to our 2022 Spring Stitch-A-Long! This is a bold design in a chalkboard style, featuring a Spring quote (it doesn’t rhyme) with lots of pretty Spring motifs.

UPDATE: For anyone who wishes to use alternate wording for "Easter Eggs" (since Easter is in the Autumn in Australia, for example), there is now an additional chart that reads "bird nests" instead. This extra chart comes with the PDF. 

This chart uses 1 DMC colors (1 skein unless otherwise stated): B5200 (x2), 3822, 3820, 436, 3716, 335, 3831, 913, 3348, 3347 (x2) and 3799.

You may also choose to use a few (or all) of the specialty Classic Colorworks (CCT) and Weeks Dye Works (WDW) floss instead of DMC (the model is stitched using CCT & WDW floss):

Classic Colorworks:

1. CCT-013 Finlay Gold instead of DMC3822(2x 5yd skeins)
2. CCT-0812 Fool’s Gold instead of DMC436 (1x 5yd skeins)
3. CCT-038 Shrimp Cocktail instead of DMC3716 (1x 5yd skeins)
4. CCT-034 Cherry Tomato instead of DMC335 (2x 5yd skeins)
5. CCT-181 Steamed Broccoli instead of DMC3347 (2x 5yd skeins)

Weeks Dye Works:

1. WDW1091 Whitewash instead of DMC5200(2x 5yd skeins)
2. WDW2264 Garnet instead of DMC3831(1x 5yd skeins)
3. WDW2136 Caribbean instead of DMC913 (1x 5yd skeins)
4. WDW2206 Pistachio instead of DMC3348 (2x 5yd skeins)

Finished Pattern Specs: 

Stitch Count: 143w x 190h 
Design Size: 10.5"w x 14"h (14-count) or 9"w x 12"h (16-count)
Stitches used: Cross Stitch, Back Stitch 

Model was stitched on 14-ct Navy Blue Aida (Wichelt or Charlescraft). The design would also work on lighter fabrics, like pale blue, yellow, pink, purple, grey, taupe etc.

Please make sure to cut your fabric at least 3" larger than the design on each side, 6" in total to each side (so for the full design, use a fabric piece that is at least 17" x 20" for 14-ct or 15" x 18" for 16-ct).

We cheated a little bit, and used a pre-cut piece of Charlescraft 14ct Aida that was 15” x 18“ (leaving only 2” of extra fabric on each side, but it worked!)

Model is shown in 12” x 16” standard photo frame, in whitewash barn board finish.
