Quick Update about Sweet Alabama

Friday, July 2, 2010


Barb picked up The Workbasket’s free chart, Pink Flower from Needle Delights in Pensacola, FL, during our trip to the beach. She added the border and words to commemorate our vacation. We are not able to give out the pattern for the flower. It is a design by The Workbasket and copyrighted by them. A portion of the flower outline is given so you can align their pattern with ours.
Visit their web-site (www.theworkbasket.net) to see more of their great designs.
Check with your local cross stitch shop and see if they also have Pink Flower by the Workbasket. If your local shop doesn't have the pattern, I know that Needle Delights still has some.

Barb did change the colors of the flower. She used GA Heirloom Gold for the flower stem.
The darker portion of the flower was done in CC Used Brick. The lighter pink portion of the flower is CC Jakey Brown. The leaves are GA Old Hickory.

Barb hasn't completed her sampler. I took it from her to get the picture. She plans to continue the border on the left up to the top and continue along toward the flower.
Hope this helps answer some of your questions about the chart.

Blogger mckie2 said...The pattern for the flower is available online at the Stitchville.com website in their May 2010 newsletter - page 3.

    Alma, as usual, thank you so much! And, thanks to mckie2. You all need to check out Texas Stitcher's cool interpretation of this chart too (see her comment). Counting the days until Tulsa!

    HUZZAH! Thank you so much for the link to the flower pattern -- there isn't a cross-stitch shop anywhere near me and I wasn't able to find it online. I'm so excited to be able to do this one now!

    The pattern notes to use 20 ct cappuccino but in the photo it looks different - what fabric are you stitching this pattern on? It is a great pattern by the bay, Marty

    Hi Marty,

    The sampler is stitched on 20ct WDW Cappuccino. It might look different due to the lighting or the setting on your computer....but nevertheless it is 20ct Cappuccino.

    Hi another question on "Sweet Alabama" - does the border extend all the way across the top of the pattern or just 'toward the flower' as you noted. I would love to see photo of finished piece if it is done! Thanks again, Marty

    Love the flower design too-tried the link but just a sheep pattern popped up and couldn't see the flower pattern. I might try going through their website to see if I can access it that way. Love your new patterns btw!
