Stamped-On Cross Stitch Design

The design for this kit is stamped onto muslin fabric using a special ink. The pattern is easily stitched directly over the symbols. No counting is required. The stamped-on pattern washes out with cold water. The final project fits a standard 5" by 7" frame (not included). This is a wonderful kit for beginners.

Gabriel Weathervane
Stamped-On Cross Stitch Kit

Weathervanes featuring folk art figures once graced the roofs of farmhouses and barns in many rural areas of the United States. Gabriel was said to be the angel of the north wind, and was a particularly appropriate choice for weathervane designs. The figures for most such vanes were handcrafted from sheet iron or copper by tinsmiths or iron mongers. Typically, Gabriel is depicted with an outstretched torso, flowing robes, and wings, all suggesting speed, and with a horn to announce good will or good news. 

Finished size: 6 ½" by 4 ¾" on old-fashioned muslin. Kit includes muslin with stamped-on cross stitch pattern, embroidery hoop, DMC floss, needle, instructions, and color photograph of finished project. Designed by Ceil Humphreys for The Posy Collection.
