Anthea - October Cyclamen
NEEDLEWORKPATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Faby Reilly Designs

With the first frosts, while flowering in the garden draws to a close, here come the cyclamen, bringing their cheerful and colorful touch, like this bright pink bouquet. Faby Reilly skillfully depicts in cross stitch the characteristic shapes of the petals turned towards the light, and the dark foliage veined in white. The pattern is part of the designer's delightful year-round collection of needlework flowers, one for each month of the year, the Anthea collection.

Each floral motif of this calendar 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 intermediary level. It includes specialty stitches such as two variations of the eyelet stitch, as well as sequins and a corresponding tutorial for each stitch. 
 

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 and DMC Color Variations.

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