Multiply Kindness - A Multiplication Table Sampler by Hands Across the Sea Samplers

Note from the designer: I am thrilled to present to you an original design. Multiply Kindness has been a sampler many years in the making as borders, motifs, verses, and colours swirled around my head. It was not until the latter part of 2019 that those ideas were translated into a graph. Covid occurred, and as life changed, the sampler was put on the back burner. It was not until the latter part of 2023 that I finalised the chart and the model went into production.

The sampler has been designed using a palette of twenty-two colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3 Conversions have been provided and approximate thread usage for Soie d’Alger and DMC. 

The sampler can be stitched on Aida or linen, and we recommend that you use a count and fabric that you enjoy working with. The model was stitched using a Zweigart-based linen that was overdyed to the shade  Antique Lace by Seraphim Linen.

The stitches used are cross stitch over two threads, satin stitches for the centre of some flower head (the satin stitches can be replaced with cross stitch) and some straight stitches for the flower stamens.

Pattern is stitched on your choice of fabric using Soie D Alger threads or DMC.

Stitch count is 395 x 299.
