CHART PACK:

Colors I love: Deep Blue
COUNTED CROSS STITCH CHART BY  MARIE-ANNE RETHORET-MELIN



This chart with a butterfly motif features a biscornu, a scissor case and scissor fob as well as a floss-tag to help identify and hold your floss. The particular hue, Color 4240 from the DMC Color variations range, gently varies from a lighter to a deeper blue tone. It's a real treat to watch the color develop on the fabric as you stitch along.

This collection, together with a skein of the floss it was stitched with, will make a great gift for a friend who enjoys needlework. Don't forget to personalize the floss tag with a message!

Together with your chart is a tutorial by Marie-Anne Réthoret-Mélin, taking you step by step through the process of making a fine scissor case with inner lining. Assembly is very easy, starting with a square piece that is lined then whipstitched into the triangular shape with virtually "no sewing" involved.

This chart was stitched on printed Aida from DMC's Impression range, with a floral print background. The printed fabric gently blends with the stitching creating a beautiful effect.
