NEW Stitch eN-hancement
Program
Starting April 2006
|
The Designs for April through September:
 |
Do you want to learn new stitches and be able to save and
collect them in a neat binder or future reference as needed? Then this is
the program for you!
By joining our Stitch Enhancement Program every month you will
receive:
-
At least THREE NEW stitch cards,
-
an original design featuring the theme for the year,
-
and charms when used in the design.
The binders, page protectors, double sided tape and additional materials to
create the stitches on the cards and for the designs are available separately
(on this page below) so you can use fabrics and fibers of your choice and from
your stash if you like.
|
The Stitch Cards:
|
 |
The Stitch Study Cards are 5.5" x 8.5"
card stock with a die cut window to put a stitched sample of your
new stitch. Although most stitches are normally stitched on linen, the
samples look best when stitched on 16 count Aida with size 8 pearl cotton (I
like to use medium blue - but you can try your stitches with ANY fiber). The
stitch study cards can then be slipped into page protectors and inserted
into a Junior sized binder for future reference. |
More about The Designs:
The monthly design will follow a theme - FLOWERS . I have begun
to stitch the border on 32ct Lambswool linen using Gloriana Silk - Olive Grove.
This is an overdyed silk and resembles Weeks Dye works dried thyme. I
found the center of the fabric and began stitching left so I could finish the
blocks for April, May, and June (2nd row). The finished stitched designs
for April, May, & June are shown at the top of the page.
These
are and will be copyrighted designs created for the Stitch Enhancement Program. They
are NOT free charts to be copied for friends or other stitchers. If
someone likes the design they will need to join the program.
The design will be charted in cross-stitch with backstitches and sometimes
specialty stitches.
As I stitch the designs, they will be displayed on this page. The
design area for each month will be the same so each installment can be stitched
separately as a single project or combined to form one large piece by the
end of the year.
The design
will use DMC fibers or have equivalents listed. If brass charms are used in the design - they will be included with the shipment of
the chart at no extra cost. You can order your fabric from the list below
and it will be shipped with your initial order along with the entire chart of
the border so you can get ready for upcoming designs.
