Caribbean is a counted Hardanger needlework embroidery design presented in a 20-plus page booklet available in printed (8 by 10 inch size) and Kindle formats.
Worked on an overdyed 24 count Congress (100% cotton) fabric (color Carefree Caribbean) the fabric is stiff enough to work in hand. There is only three skeins of size 5 and 2 balls of size 8. Three thread colors in all. Design count is 209 by 241, approximately 8.75 by 10.25 inches on 24 count fabric.
The booklet for my Caribbean design assumes that you are familiar with hardanger stitches and methods. In order to reduce the cost of my booklets I moved several pages that discuss basic topics such as the hardanger satin stitch, kloster blocks and purchasing fabric over to the Hardanger and Useful Info sections of my blog pages at http://noellefrancesdesigns.com/
The three below photos show the same page of the Caribbean design booklet. On the iPad and second iPhone photos I use Kindle’s expand (pinch-out) feature to show you close ups of this page. |
