** INTERMEDIATE - This project is perfect if you have some experience in silk shading (long & short stitch) and would like to stitch something a little more challenging.

THE PATTERN INCLUDES:
* Full size embroidery design
* Detailed step-by-step instructions
* Conversion to DMC stranded cotton
* Colour diagrams and close-up photographs.

YOU WILL ALSO NEED
* 35cm (14”) square of pale blue medium weight linen/cotton
* 35cm (14”) square of calico for backing
* nos. 9 & 7 crewel (embroidery) needles
* 13 shades of Au ver a Soie, stranded silk
* 25cm (10") embroidery hoop, inner ring bound
* Small, sharp embroidery scissors

MAY was largely inspired by an embroidered screen panel designed by May Morris for a wealthy family living in Adelaide, South Australia. May Morris named the panel ‘Adelaide’ as a tribute to the family - so I have named my piece MAY as a tribute to this incredibly talented embroiderer and designer.
The emboridery is worked onto a pale blue linen-cotton blend fabric using 13 shades of fine stranded silks.
The tulip, buds and leaves are embroidered mostly in silk shading (long & short stitch) and is surrounded by a heart-shaped wreath of satin stitch forget-me-nots.

I hope you will enjoy stitching your MAY as much as I did.
Happy Stitching, Anna
