October 2012 Pattern of the Month "Life is a Journey"

Stoney Creek's popular Pattern of the Month begins a new series with the October 2012 design "Life is a Journey."

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 autumn leaves 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 with a gold butterfly charm. 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 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.
