French Country Crown (#357)
Two models were stitched of this design - over two and over one. The 'over two' model was stitched on #32 Belfast linen in Blue Whisper and was finished as a small pillow, It is about 4 1/2" W x 4" H. The over one model was stitched on #32 Lugana in Navy and was finished as a small easel. The fibers used were DMC floss, but I can imagine this in many of the beautiful hand-dyed fibers.
Floral Alphabet II (#358)
Once again I have stitched two models of this design, which has a stitch count of 138 W x 117 H. The lighter version (finished as a wall hanging) was stitched on a #32 Belfast Linen in platinum using a combination of Romy's Creations, Weeks Dye Works and Classic Colorworks fibers.
