This is the moment you've all been waiting for .......

...... so please all sing together, and in tune if at all possible:

"Happy twentieth anniversary to you,

Happy twentieth anniversary to you,

Happy twentieth anniversary dear Long Dog

Please get on with it do!"

And so with no further delay that moment has finally come

for you to meet your nemesis - DEATH BY CROSS STITCH!

This is the first design in the whole history of Long Dog

Samplers which runs to 16 pages of chart.

It's vital statistics are 363 x 447 stitches and it can be

stitched in any colour of the rainbow your little heart

desires, including black.

I would advise you to take a seat before I reveal the

price - £22.50 and worth every penny.  It's available direct

from me as a pdf download via the following link:

jools@longdogsampler.com

or by simply banging on the door of your LNS and shouting

loudly through the letter box "Get me a copy of Death by

Cross Stitch lest I turn into a frog from sheer frustration.

My life will never be complete without it!"

So, you've all seen this eighth wonder of the world,

you all know how to get a copy which leaves me to ask

"What are you waiting for?"

One week to go!

The countdown starts now to the biggest ever

Long Dog Sampler due to be released

in seven days time on Saturday 18th June 2016

to mark my twenty glorious years of cross stitch design.

This snippet represents barely a quarter of the actual design.

So make a note in your diary, finish off what you're working

on and be prepared to be captivated.  This one's got everything

you'd look for in a Long Dog - bright eyes, a bushy tail,

will take you a lifetime and, what's more, it doesn't shed.
