Old Mill Stream

Designed by Julia Lucas

As you look at this project, you can almost hear the gentle rushing of the water against the hush of the evening. Soothing, quiet, peaceful (kind of like time spent cross stitching).

• You choice of fabric (model originally stitched on 14-count Pewter Aida), about 10” x 12”
• Kreinik Blending Filament 001 Silver

Kreinik metallic braids make these fish look wet and shimmery—as beautiful and natural as real fish under water. Whenever you stitch a nature design, consider adding a metallic thread to recreate in stitchery what is naturally light-reflective in real life. These fish, if stitched only in cotton, would be flat and un-dimensional. The metallics are subtle yet bring the stitchery to life.

Cross stitch this design centered on your fabric. Use one strand of Kreinik Braid or two strands of cotton embroidery floss according to the color key. 

Materials needed:

• Kreinik threads listed on the chart
• Tapestry (#24) Needle
• 14-count Charles Craft Aida in Light Seafoam or your choice of fabric
• cotton embroidery floss as listed in color key
