Description:
This dramatic geometric design was inspired by a stained glass window design that was interpreted on a silk scarf. The center rosette is set up with a variation of the Jessica parabolic stitch and the four-way bands are outlined with Smyrna crosses. The fillings are all open and many have laidwork frameworks and isolated blackwork accents.
Color Choices.
Option 1. The original model uses stained glass colors (red and gold, with purple accents). Blue may be substituted for the purple threads.
Option 2. Sage and gold shades on a vintage green canvas with accents of blue, pink, coral or purple.
Option 3. Southwestern shades of russet and blue on a sand canvas.
