Stitch on Olive Sand Green, an 18 count Aida cloth by Zweigart: an olive sand Aida with a warm golden-khaki tone. A coloured ground saves stitching a full background and sets the mood of the piece.

A little stitcher's folklore: samplers often ended with the stitcher's name, age and the year the work was finished, which is why so many antique pieces can be dated exactly.

Why this fabric: 18 count Aida gives fine detail and a smooth look for portraits, small motifs and ornaments, and it matches charts written for 36 count linen worked over two. This shade suits rustic, farmhouse and primitive designs.

In the pack: one precut piece of Zweigart Aida, 100% cotton, 18 count (7 squares per cm), in Olive Sand Green. Not included: chart, floss, needle and hoop, sold separately.

Getting started: overcast or tape the edges, fold to find the centre and stitch one cross over each block with a size 26 tapestry needle, using one or two strands of floss. Wash finished work by hand in cool water and press face down on a towel.

Size: 48 x 53 cm (19 x 21 in). Stitched one cross per block with a 2 in margin all round, it fits a design of about 265 x 300 stitches. Large enough for a framed picture, or cut it down for cards, bookmarks and ornaments.
