Count My Blessings

Price : 17.5 USDIn stock
This is an Irish Blessing that has been around for a very long time.
The designer has taken an old blessing and revived it with a fresh new celtic look, stitching it with beautiful variegated Dinky-Dyes silk floss and a pop of Mill Hill Beads.
General Information: Stitched using 2 threads of floss over 2 threads of fabric. A total of 9 colors (14 skeins) of Dinky-Dyes hand-dyed silk floss, 6 colors of Mill Hill Beads, and 1 color of Sullivans floss (for attaching beads) were used in the model.
NOTE: Due to the number of Dinky-Dyes Silk Floss colors required for this design, I have provided Sullivans/DMC/and Anchor comparable colors to make stitching this design more affordable. However, it is very important to keep in mind that Dinky-Dyes Silks are variegated in color, some more than others. Although color comparables are provided in other floss lines (Sullivans/DMC/and Anchor), these are “best match” alternatives.
Fabric: Stitched on 28ct Gossamer Cashel Linen by Picture This Plus.
Stitch Area: 200w X 200h
Stitch Count: 198w X 198h
Design Area: 14-1/8” X 14-1/8”. Purchasing a fat quarter will work sufficiently, but will only allow 2” of selvage on the right and left sides. The model was stitched using a fat quarter and there was plenty of selvage for framing.
