Panoply of Pods & Puffs
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Tempting Tangles
Designer Deborah A. Dick of Tempting Tangles tells of her inspiration for Panoply of Pods & Puffs:
"Panoply of Pods 'n' Puffs is a beautiful mix of cross stitch and blackwork with some beads for accents.
The motifs represent various seed pods as they mature and open up in the autumn. The central oak tree is a favorite for me, having planted many an acorn in 2000 and realizing just how long it sometimes takes for a leaf ever to appear!"
Creative Poppy says:
Panoply of Pods 'n Puffs celebrates the delicate little miracles of plant life. The chocolate color background fabric emphasizes the tender green hues of the plants, the warm orange of the acorns and the pale yellow of the lightweight seeds, about to fly off in the wind - as if in an explosion of joy. This piece once more showcases the designer's amazing creativity and dexterity with threads and needle.
The chart comes with both a color overview chart, and a black and white chart with detailed intructions.
