The double border of the design combines two original composite patterns that both use all satin stitch shapes. The interior diamond outline combines a decorative "X" or bow shape with Mirrored Chevrons and Scotch units. The exterior square border combines an Enlarged Tent edge with interior elements that include two sizes of Cashmere units and Scotch stitches. The result is sort of a plaid grosgrain ribbon effect that balances well with the diamond ribbon. A decorative saw-tooth edging surrounds the square border, and these are created with pairs of Mirrored Milanese units. The triangle areas between the two borders have blackwork outlines that reinforce the theme of the design. The holiday example has a Christmas wreath that is flanked by Danish heart ornaments. The autumn example depicts oak leaves with acorns. The holiday
example has red beads on the wreath to simulate berries and has silver
metallic accents. The autumn example uses a Renaissance Shimmer for its
metallic accent and has no beads. The remaining threads are pearl cottons
in both examples with weights adjusted to the canvas size in each case. |
