Let Gail Bussi warm the heart of your home this Christmas with her country-chic seasonal sampler design
There aren’t many things nicer than a big family Christmas, surrounded by your loved ones. It’s a time for giving and sharing and for filling with fond festive memories. This wonderful Continental-style sampler from Gail Bussi, sums this up so perfectly in just a few words, “Home is the heart of Christmas.” We couldn’t agree more!
This pretty sampler measures 23.5x23.5cm.

I think this is lovely but I'm a real novice and don't think I'd be able to do it?

Hi Nicola R!
I love this project too; the single colour makes it a little easier than other projects of a similar size, but there's quite a bit of backstitch that might prove tricky for beginners.
You could always stitch this in time for next Christmas if you want to take your time and practise on some smaller projects first! Here are some freebies you can practise your stitches with, if you like: http://www.themakingspot.com/patterns/crossstitch/free
