Calico Apple Autumn -- Afghan Series
6x10 hoop set fits afghan perfectly

 

Our model was stitched on the
Lady Elizabeth Afghan by Charles Craft (1-800-277-0980)
and is available in antique white at many Wal-Mart stores for $15.96.
Look for it in the needlework section by the DMC floss.
It is also widely available at Michael's.


**PROJECT IDEA**

These machine embroidered cross stitch designs
are sized to perfectly fit in the distinctly woven blocks
of the Lady Elizabeth Afghan.
Enjoy the whole apples, half apples, bitten apples, and finally -- the apple core!
Using a cutaway stabilizer,
center one stitchable woven square of the afghan in your hoop and embroider it.
On a loosely woven fabric such as an afghan,
it is important to use a cutaway stabilizer.
This will prevent your cross stitches from becoming distorted.
If your afghan will be used very much,
I suggest that you cut a square of cotton muslin
to cover the back of each embroidered square.


TIP: Be sure to have the weight of the afghan evenly distributed
and NOT disturbing the motion of your hoop
when you are embroidering the designs.
This will help assure a perfect stitchout.

This afghan set has also been featured in "The Stitchery" catalog.
The is a great afghan to snuggle up in at a football game
or when you're going for a ride in the mountains.
Just take a thermos of hot apple cider and your favorite mugs and you're set!
