The Mare's Nest is possibly the first ever sampler to pay a nod to the effects of climate change. It includes thunderbolts, lightning and unpredictable downpours which necessitated the inclusion of umbrellas to keep the worst of the rain off Margaret the mare, the star of the show, and poor Dedaz, the dodo, who was getting soaked too.

Pattern is stitched on the fabric of your choice using the thread of your choice. Stitch count is 339 x 379. Finished size on 14/28 Ct is 24.21" x 27.07".
