The sampler model
is stitched on 40-count Tundra hand-dyed fabric from Lakeside
Linens.
The needlework small models are stitched on 40-count Bittersweet hand-dyed fabric from Lakeside Linens.
To
stitch all four of the needlework smalls with model specifics, you will
need a 14” H
x 10” W piece of 40-count linen (diagram for layout enclosed)- this is with a 1" seam allowance and 2" between pieces - you may wish to cut a larger size for additional working space. Chartpack contains cut sizes for alternate fabric counts.
Model
is stitched with Gloriana Threads 12-Strand Silk(DMC equivalent provided).
Gloriana Threads 12-Strand Silk:
Blossoms (151) - one 4-yard skein
Blythe Green (3364) - one 4-yard skein
Crimson (150) - one 4-yard skein
Elizabethan Green (3362) - one 4-yard skein
Rosewood (3685) - one 6-yard skein
Valentines (335) - one 4-yard skein
Floss
estimation is for stitching all five pieces as directed on 40-count linen with one strand of floss.
DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact equivalents
for hand-dyed silk.
Package
contains charts for each of the five pieces, stitching instructions, complete
finishing instructions for the needlework smalls, and a worksheet area and
alphabet for personalization.
I
encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and
style.
