OCF – Quilt Designs
This one is an “all-in-one” package , themed “RAINFOREST” – all about plants, insects, birds and other inhabitants of these colorful regions of the earth.
You receive 16 individual designs – small, but intricate.
Each can be stitched with the ornate frame – or just “plain”. For box-tops etc. As greeting card. A fob…
You can sort them horizontally or vertically in rows of 4 and work kind of a bellpull etc.
You can stitch them all together on one piece of fabric for an impressive work of embroidery with a Celtic background, which can be personalized by the added alphabet….
Or – and this was the basic idea, you can use each ready stitched small design, surround it with patchworked fabric pieces, in Log-Cabin style or other – and sew a beautiful heirloom piece – a Quilt !
Whatever you choose to do, you will surely enjoy the variety of topics, stitches, threads and embellishments.
Beautiful threads are used and besides cross stitch you will work well-explained Special Stitches !
Size: Each single motif with the frame is 91 x 91 stitches – you should add the free fabric to your own requirements. There are endless possibilities to make use of this cornucopia of smaller designs !
If you wish to stitch all 16 designs comparable to the preview picture here, the size will be approximately 367 x 367 stitches – more or less, depending on the free space between the single squares and rows. Do not forget to add the free fabric for an outer area !
Recommended Fabric: Designed for 16/32ct linen Belfast from Zweigart, perhaps in white or ecru or BLACK !! ( or to your taste!! )
Please allow for a generous free space of linen around each single design so you can later easily sew it into a quilt block, or frame it, or do with it
whatever you envision ( 2” around on each side would not be too much I find…)
Materials: The complete list is here… Please note that the interior motifs and the outer border have separate material lists within this document.
