February 2013 Pattern of the Month "Love With an Open Heart"

Stoney Creek's popular Pattern of the Month continues with the February 2013 design "Love With an Open Heart." 

We stitched this as a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" design by itself on 28ct clay cashel over 2 threads and framed it in a 5x5 Terra Cotta Sweet Heart button frame from Stoney Creek, and also stitched all six designs of this series together and have it framed in a black 5" x 25" frame. If stitching on 14ct we like the looks of Dirty Aida. The design is embellished (optional) with a gold puffy heart charm and a handmade sweet heart button. In addition to standard embroidery floss (see master color list below for all six patterns) this design uses Glissen Gloss Rainbow Blending Thread 605 Brick, *Weeks Dye Works 1108 Honeysuckle (DMC 3855 sub), Weeks Dye Works 3960 Teal Frost (DMC 3768 sub),  Weeks Dye Works 1326 Rust (DMC 898 sub) and Caron Waterlilies 139 Kelp. Caron Waterlilies 139 Kelp is used throughout the series and one skein should be suitable for stitching all six designs.

*Weeks Dye Works 1108 Honeysuckle is also used extensively in the March 2013 Pattern of the Month "Be Happy Today."
