  MATERIALS

8x8" 18 or 19 count evenweave fabric

#20 tapestry needle

We used Watercolours 180 Green Tea for the needlepoint lines; 089 Caribbean for the Satin Stitch borders and the stems;145, Carnival for the flowers and the black cross stitches in the border; 116 Cotton Candy for the gray cross stitches in the border.

Separate the strand of Watercolours and stitch
with only one ply.

To prevent distortion, mount the canvas or fabric on a frame.

 

 Finished size of design on 18 count is 3" x 3". Use as an ornament.

NOTE: One line on the grid represents one thread of the fabric.

Cross stitches and satin stitches are over two threads. Each needlepoint stitch is over one thread. Only a portion of the Satin Stitch borders is charted.

Keep the stitches slanted the same direction all around the design.
