Facing the Sun digital pdf cross stitch pattern

FACING THE SUN is a cross stitch design based on Robin's "Towards the Sun" quilt pattern. A modern representation of flowers reach on tall stalks up to the sky in circular blooms. This mod garden is a play of color and negative/positive space within the blooms. Some flowers have simple linear details while others are solid or sport a band of accent color.  Chart size: 80 wide by 125 high. If stitched on 14 count over 1 or 28 count over 2, the stitched size is 5 3/4" x 9". 25 Count evenweave, over two, stitches out to 6 1/2" x 10". 32 Count linen over 2 is 5" x 7 7/8". Model is stitched with Cosmo flosses on 25 count Pebble Vintage cloth from Zweigart. A DMC conversion is listed on back of pattern. The model was finished by framing in an 11 3/4" x 15 3/4" RIBBA frame from Ikea. The mat within the frame was wrapped with Thatched Gray 48626-85 fabric from Robin Pickens and Moda Fabrics, and was coated with matte Mod Podge. Pattern booklet is a digital PDF but will print out onto 8.5" x 11" paper, with chart in color. A separate download is available of the chart output in PatternKeeper app specifications. I love to see you share your images on social media. Tag and list Robin Pickens as the designer of the pattern. Please do not share or distribute the actual charts, either in a class or online. copyright 2024 Robin Pickens Thank you!
