July Pin/Ornament of the Month
Designer's Note
I just recently discovered the joys of Kreinik's
1/16" Ribbon. This month's Designs showcase it exclusively. It is fun
to stitch with and the colors are thrilling.
If you haven't tried it...YOU MUST!
If you have tried it, why didn't you tell me??? *VBG*

Since you won't be Beading your pin, consider Beading a set of Stitch Counters instead!

Stitch Counters.
Color Combinations: General Suggestions
The major design issue here is the contrast between the 2 colors used. If you want a
strong variation in the Center Medallion, choose 2 colors which contrast strongly. If not,
choose 2 colors which are close, as in the Silver and Multi Pin which is beautiful but
very subtle.
Using 2 Colors -
Use Color 1 for the Smyrna Border, Color 2 for the Scotch Stitch Border and both for the
Center Medallion.
Use Color 1 and Color 2 for the Smyrna Border, Color 2 for the Scotch Stitch Border and
both for the Center Medallion.
Use Color 1 and Color 2 for the Smyrna Border, Color 1 for the Scotch Stitch Border and
Color 2 for the Center Medallion.

Scotch Stitch Diagram
NOTE: Needle comes up on odd numbers. Even numbers not illustrated due to
space constraints. Same color thread is used, but shown as 2 colors on diagram to clarify
the different stitches.
3.Center Medallion
Diagram 2
NOTE: Needle comes up on odd numbers. Squares represent holes in plastic canvas. Because 2
threads are used, you will need 2 needles, each threaded with one of the threads. You will
alternate stitching with them.
Center Medallion Order of Working
Thread 2 needles, each one with one of the colors designated for the Center Medallion.
Start by bringing Color 1 up at 1 (see Diagram 2), down at 2 and
back up at 3, letting the needle dangle on the front of your stitching.
Next, bring Color 2 up at A, down at B and back up at C, letting the needle dangle.
Go back to Color 1, go down at 4 and back up at 5.
With Color 2, go down at D and come back up at E.
Continue alternating in this pattern until you have gone all the way around the center.
Notes:
The stitching pattern is designed to avoid a build up of thread on the back of the piece.
You will need to work the Thread/Ribbon with your fingers to get it lay flat as you stitch
the center.
Diagram 2 has the numbering for only half of the Center
Medallion because it got too crowded on the Diagram. Continue with the stitching sequence
all the way around.
