There is a rich air of Renaissance romance in the specially dyed deep burgundy and copper overdyed silk ribbon, garnet and lavender silk flosses, shimmering beads, and White work lace. Truly a lovely gift for all loving occasions! A delight of textures and techniques for everyone, the Sampler or Box Top are ideal for the intermediate specialty stitcher! You will work Bargello, Rhodes Hearts, Triple Rice Stitches, Herringbone, Double Running, Plait Stitches, and Four Sided Stitches. Basic Hardanger techniques are shown clearly, like Kloster Blocks, Algerian Eyes, Weaving, Dove s Eyes; and also techniques like Honeycomb Pulled Filling Stitches and Double Herringbone Drawn Thread work. See for yourself how easy it is to create beautiful Bullion Stitches, Colonial Knots, Lazy Daisy Stitches and bead-work to build the main Floral Heart step by step. The Box Top design was mounted in the 5 opening of a square box from Sudberry following their included directions. The mahogany coloured wood really compliments the deep colours of the heart! The box can be used for mementos of the past, or jewelry, or your stitching supplies. Here are two romantic designs suitable for many occasions: Mother s Day, Engagements, Weddings, Anniversaries, Graduations, Valentine s Day Gifts or more. Stitch them with love in your heart… – Thea
