Awa an Raffle Yersel

Feel like you really want to tell someone how you feel, but want to do it in a subtle, elegant way? The Awa an Raffle Yersel cross stitch pattern might be the perfect fit for your needs. This pattern features luscious Jacobean-era inspired flowers and pomegranates, as well as stunning Japan Threads and gold beading. The text, "Awa an raffle yersel", is a Scottish insult translating to a milder form of "piss off"... The pattern comes with a full black and white pattern and a full colour pattern. Model stitched over two on Zweigart 28ct Cashel linen (Antique White). A link to a tutorial for couching is included in the pattern. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS NEEDED: 1 spool each of Kreinik 002J (Japan Gold) #12 Braid and Kreinik 002J (Gold) Japan Thread #7, as well as one pack of Mill Hill 00557 (Old Gold) size #11 seed beads. You will also need sewing or embroidery threads that match the colour of the Kreinik threads for couching -- 865 Gutermann polyester sewing thread will work for the #12 Braid and the Japan Thread.
