Description

What Fresh Hell Is This?

A famous quote from the late, great Dorothy Parker. Written almost 100 years ago but feels very apt today.

Perfect for your home, workplace, or anywhere that could use some beautiful art nouveau detail and some darkly humorous wit.

This is a large, ornate, 8×10 cross stitch pattern for 16-count aida. It features an intricate border inspired by stained glass and art nouveau designs. Stitched in 21 beautiful colors with black outlines.

Although this pattern looks challenging, it does only use full stitches, and no backstitch. It would be best for intermediate stitchers or above.

Comes with three sets of downloadable charts: symbols on color, black & white symbols, and Pattern Keeper format. An additional file with stitch instructions and other tips is also included.
