MATERIALS

1 piece Zweigart Augusta 14 count cotton (Art. 7583/100/50), 25x25. Be sure there are four complete evenweave squares as shown in Diagram 1.

5 skeins Watercolours, 166, Creamsicle

#20 or 22 tapestry needle

Sharp pointed fine scissors

Colored thread for basting center of eachevenweave square

PART II:  WEAVING THE BARS AND STITCHING THE CENTER MOTIF.

5. Weave bars. Use one ply of Watercolours.

a) Start by running the thread under the satin stitches on the wrong side of the work. Insert the needle down in between the middle of the four threads and work back and forth in a figure of eight. See Diagrams 4A and 4B. Pull the thread tightly when weaving and count how many times you weave over each bar. Repeat this count for all bars.

b) See Diagram 4C for instructions on traveling from one bar to another.

c) See Diagram 5 for the complete sequence of needleweaving.

               When you are done, you will have four corners in each of the five hardanger squares.

6. With 3 plies of Watercolours work the satin stitch motif in the center of each hardanger square. Work each petal of the motif separately, starting where the basting lines intersect at the center of the square. See Diagrams 6A, 6B and 6C.

7. Work hem stitch all around picnic cloth, pulling tightly at Step 3-2 both times. See Diagrams 7A and 7B.

8. Make fringe by removing threads up to the hemstitching. Diagram 7B.
