Diagram for January Pin
Order of Working -
1.Stitch Border of Smyrna Cross Stitch - Click HERE
for more Information about the Smyrna Border.
2.Stitch Heart Motif, using laying tool or fingers to be sure stitches
lay flat. Start by bringing thread up at 1, as indicated on chart.
3.Stitch Filling between Border and Heart Motif using 1
Color (Note: diagram is illustrated in 3 colors only to help
differentiate Stitch Direction!) When I stitched one of the pins, I
messed up the Filling Stitches slightly, but was able to cover the
mistake with the Beads around the Heart and the Bead Dangles
*VBG* I never did
figure out what I did wrong *sigh*.
If you have difficulty printing the charts, please send a SASE,
business size and a note about which chart you want.
