Whereas many cross stitch patterns feature cardinals in winter, this pattern shows the bird in autumn, emphasizing the rich warm colors of foliage, berries and feathers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design skillfully mixes needlework techniques, with simple cross stitch patterns in parts, more intricate cross stitch with backstitch detail for the birds and berries, and finally the unique lace-like blackwork motifs that are the designer's signature style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackstitch is used differently in various parts of the design. A light touch, in one strand, is used for the tiny Blackwork motifs and cross stitch detail. Outlines however are heavier, worked in either 2 or 3 strands. To that effect, the designer suggests substituting those parts with Pearl cotton 8 or 12 used in a single strand (optional).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike cross stitch, Blackwork is a counted thread technique, with stitches represented on a grid. A majority of stitches are backstitch, with some cross stitch filling certain areas. The chart comes with an extensive \u003cstrong\u003eStitching Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e detailing all stitches including fractional stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lesley Teare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44093294215393,"sku":"PAT-19-2690","price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/4644\/0267\/files\/19-2690NorthernCardinalInAutumn.jpg?v=1696518480"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/4644\/0267\/collections\/lesley-teare-logo.png?v=1570408066","url":"https:\/\/embroiderymarketplace.ca\/collections\/lesley-teare.oembed","provider":"Embroidery Marketplace - Calgary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
