We are enormously fortunate to be the recipients of the talents and energy of gifted textile artist and designer Steve Rousseau from Montreal. (Some of you may already know Steve for his dedicated conversion of Needleprint charts and the Needleprint Ackworth School Pattern Book for MacStitch users from which he has culled these motifs with full agreement.) He has given us one of his designs based upon the Quaker motifs for you to work as a cushion 254 stitches wide by 257 stitches tall and he is giving it to you as a free download. Just click here to download the PDF.You are a kind heart, Steve Rousseau, and so say all of us!
PS Look out next week for a very special Holiday present from Steve.

ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern Jacqueline and Stven.
ReplyDeleteOne question though; short of counting out the number of stitshes myself, how can I determine the stitch count and corresponding size of this piece?
