Rainbow
Parfait is the 10th and final design released as part of the Glendon
Place A-Maze-ing Desserts Collection. Since it is the last design in the
collection, we wanted it to be as colorful as possible. This one is
unique and its beauty can only truly be appreciated if you see it in
person.
The
A-Maze-ing Desserts Collection is a series of 10 Mandala type designs
inspired by delectable desserts found anywhere from your own kitchen to
the finest restaurants in the world. What’s really amazing about them is
they are guaranteed to be fat-free, lo-cal and too good to pass up! The
Mandalas also have Mill Hill Beads added for that extra sweetness; what
I like to call the “whip cream on top” or the “icing on the cake!”
Use
your imagination. This is one of those designs that could be stitched
in just about any color combination. Use the colors recommended in the
design or select an entirely different color palette of your own. You
can even stitch it monochromatic (all in one color) if you like. Or,
select the palette colors from one of these other designs in the
A-Maze-ing Desserts Collection:

*NOTE:
Two entire skeins of 173-Blue Bush were used in stitching the model.
However, depending upon the tension of your stitching or how much thread
waste you produce, it is recommended that you purchase 3 skeins to
insure you have enough floss. Dye lot could be an issue with this color.
The thread pack includes 3 skeins.
