Buds of Time
This is a modern design based
on Raised Elizabethan embroidery. Traditionally flowers and bugs were
surrounded in vines. Pockets of Needle Lace you will
stitch are stitched directly onto the
fabric and then padded to produce raised stitched areas. Metallic thread,
beads and miniature sequins (spangles) add texture and appeal to the design.
The design is 17 x 20 cms (6
1/2 x 8 inches) in size.
Included are 15
large pages,
All fabric and threads listed are found easily
internationally.
All instructions include metric and imperial
measurements. There is a full comprehensive stitch glossary and
comprehensive stitching instructions.
Instructions suitable for those new to this style of embroidery but have had
some experience with a needle and thread before.
Also included is an extra 4 design drawings you can stitch that are
adaptations to the main design here. There is a total of
4
adorable designs included.
Perle 8 thread has been used to
stitch with. But Cotton-a-broader #16 can be used successfully also as a
substitute for Perle 8 thread. Stranded cottons, rayon and silks can be used
but only if you have good even tension with the strands in the needle while
stitching. Perle 8 or Cotton-a-broader #16 is suggested for use for those
new to the stitching of Needle Lace.
4 extra
full sized designs included besides the main design.
