Tiny Sprouts The model is stitched on 32 count cream Belfast linen using DMC floss. The design is 112 stitches wide x 218 stitches high, measuring 7" wide x 13-5/8" high. My intent with this design was to create the "look" of a hand painted mat. While painted mats are beautiful, not all of us have easy access to a mat painter ... and the mats can end up being quite expensive. So - I stitched a "painted" mat look instead! This piece stitches up quickly, and it's fun to watch it take shape. I started out with an 11" x 17" piece of fabric - which gave me more than enough excess around all 4 sides to allow for framing. All necessary beads and charms are included in the chartpack. |
