A Rainbow of Threads and Garden Beds Paperback Needlework Book by Ardith Design
A Rainbow of Threads and Garden Beds: Projects in Counted Cross Stitch, Punch Needle Embroidery and Wool Appliqué is the second cross stitch pattern book published by Amanda Mae MacNaughton of Ardith Design.
A colorful book featuring various rainbow and garden themed projects in counted cross stitch, punch needle embroidery, and wool appliqué.
The book includes a large counted cross stitch sampler adaptation based on an antique nineteenth century wool and silk needlework sampler. Taking inspiration from the sampler, there are punch needle parrots, a rainbow table runner, a wool appliqué wall hanging, and a three dimensional bouquet of punch needle flower buds. There is a fun Skydiving Chicks Sampler stitched with vibrant silk and a more subdued Little Lilac Garden stitched and finished on a miniature wooden spool bed. The patterns and complete finishing directions for the projects are included in this book.
