Tiramisu

Description

The A-Maze-ing Desserts Collection is a series of Mandala type designs inspired by delectable desserts found anywhere from your own kitchen to the finest restaurants in the world. What’s really amazing about them is they are guaranteed to be fat-free, lo-cal and too good to pass up! The Mandalas also have Mill Hill Beads added for that extra sweetness; what I like to call the “whip cream on top” or the “icing on the cake!”

Use your imagination. Just because this design is called Tiramisu and the model is stitched in hues of chocolate, cinnamon and creme doesn’t mean you can’t select an entirely different color palette of your own. You can even stitch it monochromatic (all in one color) if you like. Or, select the palette colors from one of these other designs in the A-Maze-ing Desserts Collection:

Fabric: Stitched on 28ct “Mesa” Cashel Linen hand-dyed by Picture This Plus is available here.

Matting and/or Framing: Provided by Cindy Dunlow Frames, Six Gun Plaza, 4901 E. Silver Spring Blvd., #701, Ocala, FL 34470, (352) 236-4263, E-mail: cdframes@aol.com.

Materials Summary: Uses 6 colors of Dinky Dyes hand-dyed silk floss, 4 colors of Mill Hill Beads, and 1 color of Sullivans USA/Anchor/or DMC floss for attaching beads.

*NOTE: Two entire skeins of 0-Natural were used in stitching the model.  However, depending upon the tension of your stitching or how much thread waste you produce, it is recommended that you purchase 3 skeins to insure you have enough floss.  Dye lot should not be an issue with this color, so you may want to wait to see if you really need it before purchasing it. Additional skeins of 0-Natural are available here.
