dd wants to make a simple sampler as part of a school project on Victorians. I've bought 11 count Aida, and have some left over threads but how many strands should she use ? Can anyone point us towards any free online patterns available for this or other projects please ?

3 strands is what I always use. Not sure about patterns though... may go off to google!

Any of these any good?
