Printed chart packs

Post by Mabel Figworthy »

Some time ago I printed a number of chart packs and I am now clearing out the last three.

The offer on the website is "a printed pack, including postage within the UK, for the price of a PDF pack", but if you contact me through the forum you get both the PDF and the printed pack! They are printed on good quality A4 paper and come in a plastic grip seal bag.

The available designs are Starlight (6 pages, £3.49), Dying Embers (8 pages, £4.49) and Autumn Wreath (7 pages, £4.49). If you're interested but you're not in the UK, contact me and we can work out the postage.

Hi Dwitt, Starlight is relatively complicated although it's the smallest, and also on black with black and metallics which is an added challenge so I'd probably try one of the other two.

Autumn Wreath is mostly satin stitch with a it of beading and small amounts of cutting; the filling stitch is a woven bar with a picot, which is like a little knot; if you're generally OK with French knots you should be all right with that.

Dying Embers doesn't have too much cutting either, but has more beads and also needs a charm; the double wrapped bars are a little more fiddly than woven bars, but the dove's eyes filling is probably easier than the picot.

Sorry I realise that doesn't help much! But I hope the descriptions give you a bit of an idea. You can see bigger images of the designs on my site: Autumn Wreath and Dying Embers

Sorry the Dying Embers link had gone wrong but I've corrected it now.
