For sale is Antique Repeating Motif Border Sampler 1 Counted Cross Stitch Pattern in PDF Format.

This cross stitch design is handmade and is re-charted from Old Russian magazine dated 1897.

Stitch a single motif of the border or repeat the pattern as many times as you want.  In the design I repeated the decorative motif 2 times.

DMC colors are selected from my personal full set of DMC floss samplers to match the existing colors of the old hand-painted pattern printout. DMC colors are suggested, not binding/obligatory and can be changed per your needs or preferences. Feel free to choose your own DMC colors.



Please, note that design images are shown on different colors of aida fabric for your visual on how different colors of background change the whole design. Feel free to choose any background color for your personal preference.
