# Birdhouse sampler-free cross-stitch design

Birdhouse sampler-free cross-stitch design. Stitch these feathered friends in their cosy birdhouse

as a lasting reminder of the comforts of home.

Home can be wherever you choose but it should always be a place where you feel happy and safe. Having

beautiful things around you can help create that cosy feeling and this gorgeous needlework sampler

will give you a sense of wellbeing whenever you look at it. It’s stitched on dark cream linen, instead of

white, which gives a subtle background colour and shabby chic feel. It makes the perfect background

for the lacy stitch details and pearly seed beads, embellishments that make a pretty finishing touch.

The birds amid the flowers and hearts bring the scene to life. Stitch this picture to welcome you home.

**You will need**

Threads:Stranded cotton as listed in the key

Needle:Size 26 tapestry needle

Fabric:28-count dark cream linen measuring 30x25cm (12×1 Oin)

Extras:Frame of your choice with a minimum aperture of 25×21 cm (10×8¼in)

How to frame your finished work

1. If you’re using glass, place the stitched piece into the frame, followed by a mount or spacers. Add the piece of cross stitch next, followed by another piece of mountboard. Insert a panel pin into the centre of each side of the frame to secure all the layers, then turn the frame over to the right side.
2. Check that your stitching is perfectly positioned before you begin inserting the rest of the panel pins. Space pins evenly every 5-8cm, placing some close to each corner. Use strips of acid-free, gummed tape to cover gaps, and add fitments of your choice.
