This piece is a collaboration between cross stitch designer and artist. I love this piece of artwork by my friend Maureen Mace, and together we have worked to bring her Hearts silk painting to life in a new medium. This would look fabulous stitched as a piece of wall art or a cushion cover. The finished design measures 140 by 141 stitches. If stitched on 14 count aida or 28 count even weave, the finished measurements will be approximately 10” x 10” (26 x 26cm). Your fabric should measure a minimum of 16” x 16” (40 x 40cm) to give a 3” (8cm) border around the outside for framing. You can, of course, use a different count of fabric, and your finished size will be different. There are fourteen colours in this design. The design comprises whole stitches only, all to be done in two threads. The chart is designed for stitchers of all abilities, but would be an excellent starting piece for a beginner as there are large blocks of colour which are easy to fill in and make for a fast finish.
