____________________________________________________________

Two Colorways: this sampler was originally conceived as a long sampler in Antique Rose and Teal Green colors. You can see these colors in the photograph on the front of your leaflet and above. However, if you are one of those people who love the Victorian Reds and Greens at Christmas, then please follow the same directions, but substitute the alternate colors where you find them in parentheses. The shorter version and the Needle roll can also be stitched in either of the two colorways. The Victorian Reds and Green shorter version are shown on the back of this leaflet.
