When I first saw Smallest Things Sampler by Heart in Hand Needleart, I knew I HAD to stitch it for two of my step-daughters who were first time gradmas.
“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” The model stitched two over two on 32 Ct. legacy linen using Classic Colorworks and Weeks Dye Works. The stitch count is 80W x 84H so the finished size was only 5″ x 5.25″ which made for a quick stitch. The embellishments of a heart, flower and house buttons were included with the chart but I order two extra sets.
I selected 16ct French Country Mocha that I had in my stash to stitch it on and the recommended floss of which I had all but one of the colors.
Floss colors:
- DMC 3053 or Classic Colorworks Eve’s Leaves
- DMC 309 or Classic Colorworks Holly Berry
- DMC 931 or Classic Colorworks Old Blue Jeans
- DMC 761 or Classic Colorworks Rose Petal
- DMC 3722 or Classic Colorworks Tennessee Red Clay
- DMC 3052 or Classic Colorworks Weeping Willow
- DMC 3045 or Classic Colorworks Ye Olde Gold
- DMC 930 or Weeks Dye Works Blue Suede
- DMC 3021 or Weeks Dye Works Grape Vine
- DMC 822 or Weeks Dye Works Grits
- DMC 611 or Weeks Dye Works Oilcloth
I decided to use my new favorite frame to finish these: Textured Gray Wood Frame that has a slightly greenish tint to it.
