Quick to Stitch

 

Checkered Hearts
Stitch Count: 55 W by 55 L

For our model we used:

Fabric: Stitched on 20ct Pewter Lugana (Zweigart 3256/713)

Threads: DMC Perle 5 and Weeks Dye Works Perle 5

Stitches: Cross Stitch, Backstitch, and Smyrna.

Charm: Sterling Silver Folkart Heart

I really liked this design and it was fun to stitch using the Perle 5, lovely shades from Weeks Dye Works and DMC. The design can be stitched all cross stitch or using a large Smyrna in the border. We finished it in a tray from Hog River but it would be a darling pillow or cute just framed. Our Folk Heart heart adorns the design. Its stitched on 20ct Lugana, over 2 threads and works up quickly - just a neat, fun piece.
