The Lousia B. Snow Sampler

Fabric: The original design was stitched on fabric that yielded 14 stitches to the inch.  It measures 17-¾” wide by 16-¼” tall.  I am recommending two different fabrics from Lakeside Linens.  The first is a lighter color called Vintage Homespun.  Use this if you want the sampler to have a new feel.  The second is called Vintage Sand Dune which has an antique look to it and best represents how the sampler looks today.  Both are available in 28 and 32 count.  
Stitch Count: 245 x 226.  Louisa stitched all of the dark lettering and the border with one strand of silk so I am recommending doing the same with your sampler.  If you wish to use two strands you will need to double the amount of Briar Patch needed to complete the stitching.  The flowers, leaves and vines are all stitched with two strands. 
Classic Colorworks Silk: One each of the following - Orchid, Pom Pom Pink, Spruced, Wheatgrass, Blue Lagoon and Cotton Candy.  You will need 4 of Briar Patch.

The pattern also has a hand dyed cotton conversion, one for DMC and also a color way called Diane's silk palette.  The last one is a whole new set of silk colors based on reds and yellow greens if you want to really change it up!  Please see the pattern for details.
