Chart: Belles lettres, Cross Stitch Creation

Sampler alphabets have always held a special place in the world of embroidery. Through their carefully designed alphabets and harmonious compositions, they combine learning, elegance, and tradition. In this delicate version, the letters seem to float on a magnificent cyclamen pink canvas whose softness highlights every detail of the embroidery.

Designed by DMC and Création Point de Croix, this creation revisits the art of the sampler with great elegance. The letters, embroidered in light and luminous tones, form a refined ensemble where the color of the fabric fully contributes to the aesthetic of the piece. The harmony of the colors and the fineness of the motifs give this embroidery a romantic charm that will appeal to lovers of beautiful alphabets and textile decoration.

The pattern was embroidered on a 12-thread/cm cyclamen linen fabric, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This original fabric adds a lot of personality to the piece and creates a delicate contrast with the soft colors used for the letters and ornaments.

This creation can also be made on a DMC 11-thread/cm linen fabric embroidered over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads, or on a 5.5-stitch/cm Aida fabric, to achieve a slightly larger piece while making the embroidery work easier.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (DMC ref.) on 6 pages.
