Another Stitch-A-Long I discovered posted on Facebook, was the Linens and Threads Mystery Sampler SAL that is offered by Linens and Threads in Australia. This is at least the 4th year they have offered this and all of the projects are stunning.
The one for 2020 is called Friends and Family and is inspired by antique Quaker and Vierlande samplers. It includes both traditional and new motifs, and allows you to personalize your sampler to celebrate your Friends and Family.
Each month on the first, Linens and Threads will release a new piece of the Mystery Sampler as a free downloadable chart. And along with this years charts, each month will feature a bonus chart of an ornament.
The sampler itself has a stitch count of 244 wide x 244 high so not small. You can read all about this years Mystery Sampler as well as the ones offered for previous years from the links below. And the charts are FREE.
