One of the cross stitching Facebook groups I belong to is Homespun Needlework, Cross Stitch and Samplers recently had a give-away for the chart La-D-Da Quaker by Lori Markovic. When I first saw the chart I knew I wanted to stitch it so entered the give-away and surprisingly won one of the three charts. I even knew that I would be stitching it with Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe threads although the model was stitched with Needlepoint Silk. DMC colors are also given. The model was stitched on 36count Parchment linen by Weeks Dye Works. Since the project uses all full crosses, I selected a piece of 16ct cream aida that I had in my stash.
My choice of fabric and floss is shown above although I will be adding/changing colors as I stitch.
