Fiesta Flowers: Intermediate Level Embroidery Hardanger style Needlework: Volume 19 (Noelle Frances Designs)

Fiesta Flowers is a counted, Hardanger needlework embroidery presented within a 50-plus page booklet. Rhodes style patterns and ribbed spider web flowers add dimensional interest within the traditional Hardanger kloster block areas of the design.

Design count is 293 by 293, approximately 13.5-inches in size on 22 count fabric.

This design booklet is written for an intermediate level embroiderer who is interested in learning basic Hardanger and working Rhodes stitch patterns. Hardanger satin stitches, four-sided kloster blocks, Rhodes stitch patterns and the ribbed spider web flower are discussed within this booklet.

There is no cut (open) work within this design though cutwork can be added to the four-sided kloster blocks within the border area. For cutwork discussions and photos, view my blog page http://noellefrancesdesigns.com/2016/04/22/hardanger-cut-openwork/

Fiesta Flowers can be finished as a table or cabinet top display mat by snipping off excess fabric along the outer buttonhole worked edge or matted and framed for wall display.

My booklets are divided into sections that discuss the main pattern parts of each design, present photos and graphed charts in color and close-ups so you can see the details.

Within the e-book format you can expand the charts and photos throughout the booklet to view details down to individual stitches.
