Lovers Embrace

This
month sees the introduction of another beautiful Mat called
'Lovers Embrace' which takes its place in the ever growing
Mats collection.
Lovers
Embrace was stitched on #28 Brittney fabric using just two
sizes of Anchor Pearl Cotton. It's simple, yet elegant design
would adorn any small table.
The
approximate finished design size is 16.5" x 16.5",
(42cm x 42cm).

Coasters
or Cards Two
This
is a superb set of four designs which are suitable for both the
beginner and the more experienced stitcher alike. Each of the
completed designs can either be mounted inside an acrylic coaster
as shown or would look equally beautiful mounted as a card insert
inside hand made cards.
What makes this project particularly suitable for the beginner
is that none of the four designs contain any fabric cutting or
stitch weaving.
All four designs are worked on white #28 Brittney fabric using
two delightful Anchor pearl cottons, one of which is #1302 'Marble'
which gives a beautiful variegated effect.
Each coaster is made up from a variety of the same four basic
stitches, consisting of straight satin stitch, satin stitch motifs,
Algerian eyelets and double cable stitch, all of which are simple
stitches and easy to master.
The designs shown above are made up as 3" square coasters using
an acrylic square coaster from Framecraft.
So if you're a beginner looking for something easy to start with
or a more experienced stitcher looking for something easy to sew
while you relax in front of the TV, then this one is for you.

have been stitched on a variety of fabrics using threads from DMC, Anchor
and also Caron. Most designs incorporate the same basic Traditional
Hardanger core stitches, which include Cross Stitch, Back Stitch, Doves
Eyes, Woven Bars, Blanket Stitch, Algerian Eyelets, Kloster Blocks and
Satin Stitch to name but a few. All charts come complete with stitch
