Finished stitched size: approx. 10.5cm wide x 14cm high 
 
A sampler for a girl celebrating her 18th birthday. It contains images which are common to young contemporary girls, such as shopping bags which say ‘I love to shop’, make-up items, a bracelet, music and even the private number plate of her car! There is also a silver key; a traditional symbol associated with an 18th birthday. You may embroider this or place a sliver charm here as seen in the example. It is a special gift which will remind a girl of her life as a teenager, in years to come.
 
The pattern includes the alternative texts to stitch either English or Welsh text on shopping bags.
 
The sampler is embroidered using DMC stranded cotton thread. Pastel coloured pink, blue and lemon seed beads embellish the cake and the bracelet (optional). Small heart shaped buttons are used to embellish the centre of the daisy flowers (optional). Details of these and the silver charm are listed on the chart.
The design contains whole cross stitches throughout. Backstitching is also used to emphasise the outline of some of the motifs and to add the smaller text.
