The Silver Needle

Heaven and Earth Designs
Michele Sayetta is a 'Master Chart-tress!!!' Her company, Heaven and Earth Designs takes famous and favorite works of art -- most that are very familiar to us -- and charts them for cross stitch. NOT FOR THE WEAK-OF-HEART STITCHER, these charts are huge and incredibly detailed.

Solid stitching, each chart is presented on 8-1/2 x 11 sheets of paper, printed on both sides. Her charting software has told you how many stitches of each color the piece features, and figured approximate floss usage. Kind of fun to read just THAT part! The designs really don't need many words... each is more lovely than the last!!!

Adapted from artwork by Ruth Sanderson, this masterpiece measures 450 x 444 stitches, and is worked in 88 different shades of DMC floss.

Another of Jane Wooster Scott's charming scenes of rural Americana at its best... this turn-of-the-century circus-in-the-park scene measures a HUGE 625 x 520 stitches -- 25 x 21 OVER ONE on 25ct!

It calls for 89 colors of DMC... and 89 months (or years!) of your patience to get it done!!! Too charming for words! Offered as the chart.

OK... these charts are over-the-top huge and daunting. Just buy the print (any frame shop might have one), and then pick YOUR FAVORITE small area from somewhere in the piece. Pick a 1 x 6 strip, or a 3 x 3 area... STITCH IT... and have the framer add another opening in the framed mat of the print... or frame the print, and display your tiny stitched take-out beside it! Who says you have to stitch the whole thing? (We know you can... but the stash calls, and there are other pressing projects!) How special just a BIT of one of these can be!!!

Her charting software references DMC floss, and even counts how many stitches there are in the piece -- in each color used! (So you have approximate floss usage information as well.)

A Real Snow Job measures 450 x 378 stitches, *no half, quarter or back stitches!* and since it is solid stitching, choose a fabric you like to work on! It is impressive, intimidating, and exciting all at the same time... and FYI... the chart says there are a mere 22242 black stitches in this! I just love it, and will be working on it in my next life!!!
