Start stitching here
Your kit contains some white 14-count
aida, a tapestry needle, a bundle of
threads, and a card and envelope. Match the
thread colours to those listed in the key.
Ifs best to start stitching in the centre of
the chart: this is where the two heavy
black ‘o’ lines cross. Thread the needle with
two strands of red. Pull them out one by one
to prevent tangling. Now fold the fabric in
half both ways to find its centre.
Make a cross stitch on the fabric for each
symbol on the chart A cross stitch is
made up of two crossing diagonal stitches
that are worked using the holes in the fabric
(see the diagram below). Count the squares
away from the centre first on the chart and
then on your fabric to find where to start The
fabric is divided into squares by the holes.
Stitch the red symbols nearest the centre.
Bring the needle up in the bottom left cor-
ner of the square to make the first half of the
cross each time.
When you
have finished
the cross stitch
add the back-
stitch lettering
and outlines
and French
knots See page
6$ for how to
do this.

Make a pretty Christmas gift tag by
stitching a single poinsettia or piece
of fruit without any greenery and
mounting this motif in the Impress
round gift tag card
When you see two tiny symbols
sharing a square on the chart, for
example on the fruit, make a
three-quarter stitch in the colour
that is meant to be in front (the
fruit) and a quarter stitch in the
colour that is in the background
(the greenery)
Personalise your card by using the
space in the middle of the wreath to
sew on a special charm or backstitch
a greeting or the date. You will find
some wonderful Christmas buttons
and charms to choose from in your
local needlework stockist

stitching
Use the wreath designs to make
padded decorations for your tree. Trim
your stitched piece to leave 10mm
(з/дш) around the design, and cut a
piece of backing fabric the same size.
Sew the two pieces together with right
sides facing in a 6mm (i/zm) seam,
leaving a gap at the top for turning.
Stuff the decoration, fold ribbon in half
for a loop and push the ends in the
seam. Close the seam with slipstitch.

Fly the flags
I am looking for a card to stitch for two of my relatives who are going home -

with a design containing the British flag and either the Australian or the

Debra: Thank you for that, Lesley. Гт sure
other Card Shop readers share your
request. Flags are very
straightforward
to stitch, so you’ll be able to stitch
these designs in one or two
evenings. You may prefer to stitch all
three flags in the same design.

More dogs, please
I have been stitching for a few years, and my family love receiving
my cards. I am looking for a design of two black labradors, but I
haven’t found many designs of dogs in back issues of Card Shop.
Caroline Davies, Formby
Debra: I hope these two black labradors make
up for it. I think the contrast between their pink
tongues and black coats makes them look real. I
finished off their eyes with white French knots.

Most of these designs are worked
in whole cross stitch and
backstitch, making them
straightforward to sew. Only the
village scene and the log cabin use
a few fractional stitches for shaping
These designs will also look good
stitched on navy aida for a twilight
setting or cream aida if you find dark
fabrics too difficult to see. Spread a
white cloth over your lap when you
are stitching on navy aida to make
the holes show up clearly

This lovely design of a kennel maid would look
good in a card or a frame. Stitch it for someone
you know who adores working with dogs
These ‘World’s Greatest’ designs would
look good stitched on a sweatshirt. Use
waste canvas as a grid for your stitches
on clothing fabric and a sharp needle
rather than a tapestry one

Use this closeup chart to see the
fractional stitches on the face and
elsewhere on the kennel maid

design look more realistic. When
two fractional stitches share a
square, work the colour that is
meant to be in front as a three-
quarter stitch and the other colour
as a quarter stitch
