Heart of the Needle

$12.00 – $18.00

12 page softcover booklet with charts, plus stitch diagrams and closeup color photos of details for these counted thread needlepoint projects. Three quick-to-stitch lacy designs are worked with DMC perle coton, floss, DMC metallic and Kreinik metallic braids with accents of tiny hex-cut beads, golden Heirloom beads, round and pear-shaped pearls.
All three projects were stitched on Victorian Red #18 canvas but 19-count linen could be used instead.  Suggestions for other canvas and metallic color combinations are included. These designs are shown mounted in Sudberry boxes and pincushions.
An embellishment pack containing beads and pearls to work any or all three designs is also available. The Materials List is offered below.
