Lovers Embrace Mat

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).

Chart Review
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.

At Col's Creations, we carry a growing range of traditional hardanger designs. Most of our charts are quite simple, which makes them ideal for an easy introduction into hardanger. All of the designs have been produced by the designer Colette Robinson. By dealing direct with the designer we can reduce our costs, which then means that we are able to supply our chart packs direct to you at great prices.
All of our charts contain full design information, stitch diagrams, cutting charts and where required placement charts. The various designs 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.
