About this item
Redwork Garden" is a framed sampler design with two coordinating needlework smalls that combine Belinda Karls-Nace's three loves: needlework, quilting, and gardening. It is a companion piece to Quilted Garden, that was released last fall. This design is stitched with three colors of Sampler Threads (two reds and a white) on Chantilly Creme hand-dyed fabric (the models use 40-count, but you can use your favorite). The entire sampler is Cross Stitch over two-linen threads, with the exception of the verse (which is Cross Stitch over-one linen thread), but Belinda has included alternate charting of the original verse in Back Stitch for those who shy away from over-one needlework. The needlework smalls include a scissor fob and a biscornu...and complete finishing instructions are included. For the buttons on the biscornu, she stitched her initials and the year over-one on small scraps of fabric, then used a button cover kit to make the buttons...she also included an alternate alphabet/numbers in Back Stitch, if you are not a fan of over-one Cross Stitch.
