Susan Saltzgiver Designs - Mushrooms and Moles
SSD-C119                                  Watermelon Borders

12” w by 9” h each - 169 stitches w by 127 stitches h

Model stitched by Margaret I. Boos

This counted cross-stitch is of 3 borders
featuring red, ripe, delicious watermelons -
some whole in long or round shapes and
still attached to their vines,
some are cut and showing
their bright pink and red interiors.  
They all say, “M-m-m good!”  
The hand dyed Thyme Permin Linen
shows off the design in a natural state,
much like where the watermelons actually grow.

All whole stitches are used,
creating a design that even a novice could stitch.  
Aida of any count may be used, or
they may be stitched on kitchen towel inserts.

Materials used for this model:
28 count, Permin Linen-Hand Dyed, Thyme (76-506)  
from Wichelt Imports,
DMC 6 strand embroidery floss
