Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all the best for 2013. As a late Christmas present, here is the cross-stitch grid for the burlap pincushion I made for Elaine who blogs at Dashasel sews.
The pincushion was cross-stitched on a burlap fabric I found when I went through my hobby room - as I mentioned before, this is much easier to cross-stitch than linen and the result is still very rustic. It was really hard to let this one go, and I may in the end just have to make one for myself!
This is the first cross-stitch pattern I tried to draw, so hopefully it makes sense. I simplified a pattern found in a Japanese cross-stitch book and use the colour scheme of the Royal Doulton Fable collection mug.
Pattern: available here. I drafted half of the pattern, as the other half is the same (just turn the document round)
Thread: Baby blue (Anchor 159), Pewter Grey (401),
Cream (Anchor *387), Orange (Anchor 35)
Cream (Anchor *387), Orange (Anchor 35)
I may change the colour scheme next time, or not... To protect the cross-stitching, I added a layer of fabric underneath. I stuffed the pincushion with soft toy filling.
Let me know if you use the pattern, for a pincushion or another project, I would love to see your version!
I went to look at the pattern and it required permission to access it. I don't know if you wanted that to happen or not, so I thought I'd let you know. The pincushion is lovely. I really like the burlap, it has a real rustic feel to it.

ReplyDeleteThis was such a smart and great idea for your friend. The burlap is awesome for cross stitch. I need to pin that.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, totally speaks to my taste with the colours and rustic appeal. I can see how you might not want to let it go!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis pincushion is beautiful and I like your way of using burlap! Your pattern reminds me of peacock feathers and I bet it would also look lovely in emerald, teal and aqua with just a bit of navy or lime. hmmm...
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so pretty! Thanks for sharing!
