Swans and Shears Quaker
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Tempting Tangles
A playful Quaker design with hidden motifs.
As you stitch these elegant Quaker medallions, diamonds and corner triangles, look for the hidden pairs of scissors and shears, as well as swans. Happy hunting!
DMC floss colors are suggested, however you can easily play around with your own colors. Picture the example below cross stitched on a white linen background using a combination of solid colors and overdyed colors.
Creative Poppy tip:
When creating your own palette of colors using overdyeds, mix with solid colors that match the hues of the variegated thread you are using. This highlights the different tones of the overdyed thread in various parts of a design, while the overdyed parts beautifully blend the motifs together.
