 Welcome
Hearts
A
Welcome Bellpull or Sampler!
An elegant bellpull for your entrance
hall, this heart-shaped Hardanger, Drawn Thread work and the
gorgeous colours and sparkling beads all enhance the message
“Welcome with Love”. It was so much fun to stitch, that I stitched
it in two colourways! When I began designing Welcome Hearts Bellpull
I decided to use the Flax linen for the burgundy lettering. Later I
thought it might also look lovely and a bit more delicate on my
favorite Platinum linen for a slightly softer feel. Of course I had
to lighten the colours of the threads to more beautifully highlight
the lighter linen! In this leaflet, we’ve included both colourways.
You can choose whichever colour way you like, or create one of your
own to match your decor. Even though it looks very intricate, this
Learning Sampler is really ideal for the beginner to intermediate
specialty stitcher. You will practice Hemstitching and Hardanger
techniques like Kloster Blocks, Algerian Eyes, Foursided Stitches,
Wrapping and Weaving, Dove’s Eyes, Greek Crosses, and a wonderful
edging stitch called Petite Blanket Stitch! I’ve also included an
easy way to attach your bellpull fabric to the hardware! Nun’s
Stitch around the little flap at the top, fold over the bell pull
hardware and tack it to the front with a few stitches left and
right.. Never has finishing been this easy! If you change the
lettering, then make one as an announcement for a baby’s arrival, or
you can create your own word for any other occasion, like a
graduation, or hang a name or other message beside your bedroom
door! I’ve had my burgundy model hanging in my front hallway for a
while now and my guests often admire the cutwork of this stitched
message of hospitality, commenting on the complicated stitching. My
Mom has hung the more delicate softer coloured one, and loves it in
her small condo! It appeals to so many people, timeless in its
elegance. Create one for a special friend or family member, to
welcome your guests into your home, and enjoy the many compliments
you get about your stitching. There are two Accessory Packs
available for this design, so enjoy your stitching! - Thea
