CHART PACK:
Red lace needlework set
CROSS STITCH PATTERN DESIGNED BY Agnès Delage-Calvet
This is a beautiful set of needlework accessories comprising:
- a square "mattress shaped" pincushion
- a small dice-shaped scissor fob.
Both items are assembled using the fool-proof "biscornu method", ie using a row of backstitch along the borders which is later used to assemble the parts along sharp straight lines.
The "mattress shape" is quite unique. The top of the pincushion is richly decorated as well as all four sides of the cushion. The dice is stitched in a single piece then assembled into a cube shape. The pincushion is about 3 x 3 inches and the dice a little over an inch (on 28ct).
The stitching involves a combination of cross stitch and intricate backstitch resulting in a stunning stitched piece. It is worked in a single color of red from the DMC Variations range.
