#ASK17: Hungarian Hootenanny

Ann Strite-Kurz Hungarian Hootenanny   This design is the fourth in a series called Parade of Pattern which features projects that explore common stitches in an uncommon way. In this geometric arrangement, a variation of the Hungarian stitch called Flip-flop Diagonal Hungarian is used to create a main outline that resembles a rickrack edge. The four-way square and diamond arrangement is enhanced by a dramatic star in the center, and these areas are embellished with accents of canvas stitches, blackwork outlines and couching patterns. The background area is decorated with what I call a simulated darning pattern that is beaded. Any two colors can be combined in this design as long as the values substituted are the same. Finished Design Size: 7.5 " square.
