Crown of Hearts
| Stitcher: | Diann Kohn |
| Designer: | Jean Hilton for Rainbow Gallery |
| Location: | Hanging in the stitcher's formal dining room |
| Description: | This was only the second piece of needlepoint that
Diann had done. Lynda Carlson, the woman who taught it as
a class at a local shop, showed it to her knowing that
she loved cross stitch patterns with hearts in them, also
her curiosity to learn something new and different. Diann
was intrigued by the Amadeus motif and the fanned corners
(fans are another love of hers as are bows but no bows in
this design). Lynda also showed her how she could change
the colors and threads to make it something more
personal. Needless to say Lynda and Diann quickly became
great friends as she taught Diann so much more about
needlepoint. She would also like to say how important it
is to have someone in your local needlework shop that is
this devoted to teaching. Diann had only started doing
needlepoint 4 years ago when Lynda showed her that
needlepoint is not just "Tent Stitch". The design was displayed as a square. Diann chose to frame it on its points giving it a Diamond shape. |
