Anastasia, a floral cross stitch interpretation of my watercolor work inspired by a Mum of the same name, finishes at 57w x 84h.
The bloom is stitched with full stitches in 19 DMC colors to capture the watercolor feel with the surrounding 'wash' stitched with half stitches. The flower is loosely outlined with backstitching.
My model is stitched on 14ct. aida in 'Garden Party' from BeStitchMe.
