Description
Rosaceae is the family name for the genus Rosa. Most species are native to Asia, Europe, North America and Africa. There are over 300 species with thousands of varieties. Pronounced “row”, “SAY”, “cee” and a short “a”.
Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in just about any color you can think of. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers.
General Information: Stitched using 2 thread of floss over 2 threads of fabric. A total of 13 colors of Dinky-Dyes hand-dyed silk floss, 1 color of Mill Hill Beads, and 1 color 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 Petals Cashel Linen by Picture This Plus.
Stitch Area: 200w X 200h
Stitch Count: 198w X 198h
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.)
