Merry Christmas Sampler — Counted Cross Stitch Kit on Black Aida

Merry Christmas Sampler (Black) is a Christmas counted cross stitch sampler of nine squares inside a snowflake grid: a wreath with a bow, Christmas stockings with baubles, Santa with a sack of gifts, a sleigh full of presents, a Christmas tree and large snowflakes. The grid and snowflakes are stitched in white on black fabric, so the colors of the motifs really stand out.
