Anthea - June Cornflowers
NEEDLEWORK 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.

The June flower is the Cornflower, one of the designer's favorite flowers. Dark blue rainbow metallic beads grace the hearts of the pretty blue flowers.

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

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.

This chart is an intermediate level. It includes diamond eyelet stitches as well as the fun spiderweb stitch and corresponding tutorials to guide you all the way.
 

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 the specialty stitch embellishments and seed beads. 

Threads include solid color DMC floss, DMC variation used for letters, as well as gold metallic thread.

A step-by-step tutorial for framing your work also comes together with the chart.
