Anthea - February - Lilies & Arum
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Faby Reilly Designs
Anthea - Greek for Flower - is a collection of 12 cross stitch floral designs, one for each month of the year.
There are two white flowers for February: Lilies and Arums
Each monthly flower can be stitched:
- either with the name of each month
- or customized with the name of a person, or words of your choice (see example: With Love)
An alphabet chart (caps and lower case) as well as a blank chart for positionning letters are provided with the chart
These designs make great Greeting cards and Birthday cards that follow the seasons. You can also stitch all the months of the year, creating a perpetual calendar where you rotate the design each month.
The pattern is designed in two user-friendly steps. The first chart is cross stitch only. A second chart covers the extra backstitch detail as well as specialty stitch embellishments and seed beads.
Threads include solid color DMC floss, DMC variation used for letters, as well as silver metallic thread.
A tutorial is included with the chart for all specialty stitches.
