Jonah's Whale
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Tempting Tangles
Designer Deborah A. Dick of Tempting Tangles tells of her inspiration for Jonah's Whale:
“Jonah’s Whale” presents a fanciful version of the story of the Jonah and his experience with the biblical leviathan - synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. This sampler is designed in an illuminated manuscript style, containing text supplemented with decorative borders, motifs and other illustrations.
Creative Poppy says:
This is a luminous cross stitch pattern, embellished with jewel-like ornaments forming a cross in the background. The fish itself is full of grace and movement, it's glassy eye glancing sideways at us.
Biblical quote:
" Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah,
and Jonah was in the belly of the fish
for three dayes and three nights."
The mostly cross stitch pattern comes includes a couple of eyelets and French knots, as well as backstitch detail. It includes both a color overview chart, for easy color reference, and a detailed black and white chart with extensive instructions describing how to work special stitches.
This design may be worked over 1 thread of fabric - the cover model is worked over 1 thread of fabric with 1 strand of suggested Dinky Dyes floss.
