Bejeweled mandala

Exotic and colorful, this counted pattern is a faithful reproduction of an antique hand painted chart dating from the 1830’s-40’s.

This style of designs would most probably have been worked in tent stitch with gaudy, colorful wool, then made into decorative cushions or upholstery covers.

A challenge to stitch with all its color changes and detailed flowers, the finished embroidery will do merit to the patient needle worker.

This cushion cover would look lovely stitched in tent stitch on canvas, with either a dark or light colored background- Try black, or off-white???
