About this pattern

This little sampler is our motto, so of course it had to be part of my signature collection. "Home is where the hearth is" sits above and below a tiny cottage with glowing windows, two pine trees and a heart floating up from the chimney, all inside a twisting vine border dotted with pink flowers.

It's 100 x 70 stitches, about 7.1 x 5 inches on 14-count Aida, and uses just 8 DMC colors. The lettering is simple and clear, and there's no fractional stitching anywhere, so it's a lovely beginner sampler and a calm, happy project for anyone who likes to stitch while chatting or listening to something cozy.

It makes a sweet housewarming gift, a first-home present or a little reminder by your own front door. I like it on antique white Aida in a simple wooden frame.

You get a full color chart, a black and white symbol chart, a large print version, a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF and a floss key with DMC numbers and skein estimates.

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Right after checkout you land on your order page with download links for every file, plus a "download all" zip. Links work for 7 days, and you can reopen your order page anytime to get fresh links.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What is the free bonus pack?

Every order comes with a little thank-you: my one-page beginner cheat sheet and 3 bonus mini patterns (a star ornament, a tiny tree and a little mushroom). They appear on your order page next to your patterns.

Is there a discount if I buy several patterns?

Yes. Buy any 3 or more individual patterns or sets and each one is 25% off, applied automatically in your cart. Bundles already have their own price. During a shop-wide sale you always get the single best discount (they don't stack).

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
