Bison and the Elk - Jean Farish

Celebrate the American Southwest with this cross stitch sampler featuring native inspired motifs, a quote from Teddy Roosevelt, and classic sampler design elements.

The over all stitch dimensions are 115 x 192. Sixteen shades of floss are included in the color code from rich copper and terra cotta to the shades of turquoise and purple found in desert landscapes. The color code includes both DMC and Cosmo numbers.

This design can be stitched on Aida, evenweave, or linen. On 14-count fabric, the stitched area measures about 8 ¼" x 13 ¾"

The chart is large and easy to read using black symbols on white. The herringbone and fishbone stitch diagrams / instructions are clear with notes for a cross stitch conversion should you prefer a cross stitch only project.

This is one of four samplers in Jean's ampersand series. Look for "The Deer & the Grapes," "The Bear & the Moose," and "The Hare & the Basket" to complete your set!
