Juniper Designs Ocean Blue Sampler Kit

Juniper Designs Ocean Blue Sampler Kit is a lovely arrangement of underwater creatures. Dolphins frolic while fish and a curious turtle look on.  The borders and careful placement of the rest of the design gives the picture a clear and tasteful finish.  Only being worked in 4 shades of blue makes it a classic and elegant look.

• Easy to follow Instructions

Design Size: 30m x 42cm

Made in Australia

The pattern is worked in whole cross stitch, half cross stitch and a outlined in back stitch using Ginnie Thompson Flower Thread.

Editors Note: this design is would be perfect for a clever beginner to the more advanced cross stitcher however as this is a full stitch design, consider fully graphing your fabric to make following the pattern much easier.  So what I mean by graphing your fabric is starting from the center of the fabric, stitch a medium long running stitch over every 10 rows  horizontally and then every 10 rows vertically.  This will give you a grid pattern which will match your design Chart and make following the pattern considerably easier.

Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-like pattern are used to form a picture. The stitcher counts the threads on a piece of Even weave fabric (such as linen) or Aida (a fabric with more pronounced marked squares)  in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance.  Cross-stitch is the oldest form of embroidery and can be found all over the world.
