Cross-stitch, along with drawing and modeling, is one of the most relaxing activities. It has been proven that one evening in the company of a hoop and monotonous measured embroidery perfectly relieves stress. And those who spend a few hours a week embroidering are able to complete complex tasks much faster and achieve success in other areas of activity much faster.
Plots and schemes
One of the favorite subjects of many embroiderers, both in the old days and now, were and are flowers, various plant motifs. Perhaps there is not a single company that would not use flower arrangements in their schemes and sets.
A special place in the floral hierarchy is occupied by sunflower cross stitch patterns. Similar sets can be found in the Luka-S line, "Riolis", "Golden Fleece", "Alice" and even in the legendary Dimensions.
Energy
Besides beauty and stress relief, cross-stitch carries an amazingenergy. A long time ago, various embroidery signs were formed, and experienced craftswomen know that an embroidered heron will help in a hopeless situation, angels will become a symbol of a long-awaited pregnancy, and a house will improve the financial and housing situation.
Sunflowers have a special place in embroidery symbols. A bright disc of a sunflower, reminiscent of the sun, will bring well-being and peace to the house. And if there is also a basket with fruits and berries on the sunflower cross stitch pattern, this promises the embroiderer we alth and abundance.
Tips & Ideas
It's no secret that the threads in the ready-made kits are perfectly matched by color, and changing the color scheme, as a rule, is more expensive for yourself: the transitions will turn out not so smooth, and the work will look rough.
But you can "conjure" with the canvas. If the plot completely fills the embroidery, then it is better to change the popular AIDA fabric to a uniform weave canvas - this way the final work will look neater. Now among the embroiderers there is a fashion for hand-dyed canvas and various types of uneven toning. Sunflowers will look harmoniously enough on almost any fabric of bluish or beige colors, but you still shouldn’t choose bright and sharp transitions: they can distract attention from the main plot.
And what if there is no way to purchase a ready-made set, and the plot really liked? Ready-made patterns and keys to them can be easily found on the Internet: there are groups of experienced embroiderers on social networks, and they will be happy to helpbeginner craftsmen. In such groups you can easily find cross stitch patterns of sunflowers in a vase, sunflower bouquets, various still lifes with this flower.
Design
The frame for the finished work will help you pick up in the framing workshop. Here, as in the case of the canvas, the principle applies: the simpler the better. A neat frame with a wide passe-partout in cream shades will be a worthy decoration for your work. If there is no framing workshop nearby, or their services are too expensive, you can do the embroidery yourself. In stores such as IKEA or Castorama, there is a fairly wide selection of frames in all colors, sizes and materials.
However, it is not at all necessary to frame the finished work and hang it on the wall: such embroidery can decorate a pillow, bag or even a tablecloth.
