Little Alien Schoolgirl - PDF

So, you were perhaps wondering what a schoolgirl sampler would look like if it were made by a young girl on an alien planet at some time in the future?

A reproduction of Roswell time capsule artifact from a future colonial mission.

191 x 256 Stitches, done on 30 count Weeks Linen in Baby's Breath. Weeks Threads used: Galvanized (2), Tiger's Eye, Swiss Chocolate, Loden, Baked Apple (2), Red Pear, Blue Jeans (2), Cypress, Bullfrog, Terra Cotta, Cinnabar (2), Plum (2). A DMC conversion is provided.

You are invited to read along in the blog where I discuss what some of these images might mean. The chart includes our best guess as to the meaning of the motifs and text.

One of the "text" parts can be personalized using the full alphabet I've charted out here. This alphabet page is included in the PDF version, but not the printed chart.

Pattern Keeper note - this chart can be imported into PK, but because the file contains a graph for the sampler, as well as a a graph with the Futurama alphabet for personalization, you will initially get a warning message. PK will ask you to pick which pages are the graph you want. You'll need PK to discard the alphabet, so it can focus on the big one. Once selected, it works like a charm.
