Helianthus or “sunflower” is a genus of plants comprising about 70 species, nearly all of them native to North America.
Helianthus is the first release in the new Floral Mandala Collection from Glendon Place. I am very excited about this new collection and look forward to creating more colorful design interpretations of the world’s most beautiful flowers.
General Information: Stitched using 2 threads of floss over 2 threads of fabric. Stitched entirely in full stitches.
Fabric: Stitched on 28ct Tyco Cashel Linen provided by Picture This Plus. Suggest purchasing a fat quarter (18″ X 26″). Glendon Place does offer this fabric on the website as a fat quarter (18″ X 26″). Purchasing a fat quarter will work sufficiently, but will only allow 2″ of selvage on the right and left sides. The model was stitched suing a fat quarter and there was plenty of selvage from framing.
Stitch Count: 198w X 198h
Design Area: 14-1/8″w X 14-1/8″h
Matting and/or Framing: Provided by Cindy Dunlow Frames, Six Gun Plaza, 4901 E. Silver Spring Blvd., #701, Ocala, FL 34470, (352) 236-4263, E-mail: [email protected].
