Rose in Assisi Technique - 3/11/22

March 11, 2022--The March meeting program of Delaware's Seashore Chapter of ANG consisted of learning the Assisi technique while cross stitching a rose.  This results in a negative effect where the background is stitched, and the central design is left blank.   Thank you, Bobbie R., for introducing us to this style of stitching and I look forward to working up more designs using this technique.  

This project was stitched on 28 count Jobelin linen with two strands of DMC over 2 threads of fabric, effectively making it 14 count linen.  I think the result is quite dramatic.

  2. Dolores Andrews has some lovely Assisi designs. I used that frame for a piece of needlepoint a few years ago. Michael's is still selling it?

    1. I'm going to look at Dolores' website for Assisi designs. I do believe I purchased the frame on sale at Michaels. I try to pick up frames like this to keep on hand for just this type of project. Now I want to see the photo of your project in this frame.
