MOJO STITCHES - PENNSYLVANIA PRIMS

Sourced from a Pennsylvania estate, the two tiny fragments that I've reproduced here charmed me with their simplicity and with the poignancy of the dates, recorded by an unnamed stitcher.  To honour her, and all unnamed stitchers, I added two more small designs.  I hope stitching this set helps you to remember and honour stitchers past.

The designs have stitch counts of 39w x 44h (the basket), 51w x 30h (the birds), 107w x 26h ('Remember me') & 34 stitches square for the blossom motif.  Some extra room should be left around the sides for finishing.  The designs use full crosses over two and a couple of elongated crosses, with the dates being full crosses over one.  In my model, I used two strands of floss over two threads of linen & one strand for the dates.  You could always drop the dates or stitch them larger if preferred.

All threads in packs are the threads used in the Model Stitch.
