Thread Pack - Faithwurks Designs (Nancy Wahler) - Sweetheart Roses Biscornu & Scissors Fob
Faithwurks Designs (Nancy Wahler) created this lovely biscornu and scissors fob set for Just Cross Stitch magazine's February 2020 issue...page 34-36
Nancy already had this stitch when she learned about Treenway Silks' 65 Roses colors and how we support research for a cure for cystic fibrosis. She was so moved, that she re-stitched her dainty rose design using only 65 Roses colors. My heart goes out to you!!
The biscornu stitch count is 48H x 48W and 3-1/2" x 3-1/2"; the scissors fib is 6H x 56W (1/2" x 4"). Both are stitched on 28 count linen "over two" The stitches used are cross stitch, straight stitch and lazy daisy.
We've put together a thread pack...if you don't have the JCS February 2020 issue in your library, you can order your pack with the magazine.
Each thread pack includes two 10-yard skeins of Harmony (6-strand silk floss) in the following colors, all hand-dyed in Colorado
65 Roses* color "Love Song"
65 Roses* color "Hosta Garden"
*"65 roses" is how young children with cystic fibrosis often pronounce the name of their disease. We donate 10% of all 65 Roses sales to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in honor of Andrea's angels, to help find a cure. Thank you for supporting this cause with your purchase of this thread pack.
