Description
Convolvulaceae, known commonly as the bindweed or morning glory family, consists of roughly 60 genera (or types within the family). Within those 60 types, there are more than 1,650 different species, most being herbaceous vines.
The traditional morning glory is the most well-known and popular type within this family. Convolvulaceae can be recognized by their funnel-shaped flowers. The stems of these plants are usually winding, which is where their name derives from; “convolvere”, which is Latin for “to wind”.
General Information: Stitched using 2 threads of floss over 2 threads of fabric. A total of 10 colors (15 skeins) of Dinky-Dyes hand-dyed silk floss, 4 colors of Mill Hill Beads, and 3 colors of Sullivans floss 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 Bashful Cashel Linen by Picture This Plus.
Stitch Area: 200w X 200h
Stitch Count: 198w X 199h
Design Area: 14″w X 14″h. (Purchasing a fat quarter (18″ X 26″) 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.)
