Description
Here it is: the 12th and final part of my 2019 SAL, entitled Hope. I took inspiration from Emily Dickinson’s beautiful poem that opens with these lines:
“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –
The December part of my Mystery SAL is truly about love – for there cannot be hope if there is no love!
My Hope design measures 363 crosses in height and 249 crosses in width, and will measure approximately 15 5/8″ x 22 3/4″ (57.8 x 39.7cm)
As you will decide over the course of the year which designs you will be stitching, I can only give an estimate to the total stitches – which will be around 32000. This means that stitched with 2 pulled strands of 6-stranded floss on 32 count linen (or 16 count Aida) you will need between 118 and 150 metres of floss (15 to 19 skeins of DMC / Anchor).
The 2018 Mystery SAL proved how creative you all were in your interpretations of my design, and I really look forward seeing your personal interpretations! When you share your work on Instagram, make sure to use the hashtags #MFESAL2019 and #ModernFolkEmbroidery.
