• Join our Jingle Bells Advent Calendar Stitch-a-Long today and celebrate Christmas with this bright and vibrant design – we absolutely love it and are sure you will too, it is full of Christmas scenes with lots of wintery touches.  This is a four part Stitch-a-Long project where cross stitchers around the world join together to stitch one piece of this pattern every fortnight for 8 weeks.  It is a one off price which includes all four patterns.  If you join part way through you will receive all the previous patterns.  This is a lovely project that you can stitch at your own pace and enjoy for many years as a Christmas decoration.

• The cross stitch design is worked on a our specially dyed sage green 16 count Aida from Zweigart.  The fabric colour works so beautifully with the gorgeous selection of DMC threads we have chosen – the wintery white stitches literally jump out of the fabric and look like twinkly snowflakes.

• As is tradition, this Stitch-a-Long can be accompanied by our amazing Advent Gift Box.  The Advent box will contain 24 individually wrapped packages, one for each day of Advent. We have tweaked the contents this year and the box will now contain 3 beautiful exclusive Mini Christmas Cross Stitch projects, designed in house by Historical Sampler Company. Not only will we provide the chart, pre-sorted threads and fabric required to stitch the mini projects, we will also be including the finishing items required to make the Christmas projects extra special – expect lots of lovely Christmassy touches.  The remaining 21 packages will be a mixture of genres. We have included more stitching related items this year – without spoiling the surprise – think scissors, needle minders and other handy items. Of course there will still be lots of lovely decorative gift items and a tasty treat too. We hope we have found the perfect mix of gifts to suit every taste – more to stitch, but not too much to overwhelm what is already a very busy time of year. (images of gifting used are from a previous Advent Box so as not to spoil the surprise of this year’s gifts.

• The Jingle Bells Advent Calendar Stitch-a-long is in four bite sized projects and the first part will be released on Wednesday 18th October.  If you order a Full Kit or Advent Box  these will be dispatched on 29th September giving you plenty of time to receive your supplies before the release date.  We have a dedicated Facebook page too, so you can post your progress and follow other Stitchers’ journeys. There will be lots of helpful hints and tips along the way and its a great way to make new friends around the world.  Join our group today at Historical Sampler Co Stitch-a-long on Facebook.
