This cross-stitch sampler is inspired by medieval Egyptian textile fragments (10th-15th century) from the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The entire pattern could be stitched as a whole, or separate components could be worked individually for smaller projects. There are no fractional stitches, and the design can be embroidered on aida or evenweave.
A basic chart (without any explanatory information) that is compatible with Pattern Keeper is also included with purchase.
NOTE: If you would like to stitch a companion piece, the Greek Islands Sampler is exactly the same dimensions as the Medieval Egyptian Sampler.
Stitch count: 195 wide x 195 high.
Approximate size: 14 x 14 inches on 14-count aida or 28-count evenweave; 12¼ x 12¼ inches on 16-count aida or 32-count evenweave; 11 x 11 inches on 18-count aida or 36-count evenweave.
This is a PDF file of an embroidery pattern, not a finished product. Once payment has been made, you will be sent a link via Etsy that will lead you to a downloadable PDF. Cliffside Stitches PDFs include an explanation of the historical/cultural background of the design, clear charts, suggested DMC floss colors, tips for using the design to create smaller projects, and photos of finished models.
