Description
Double Heart is a contemporary whitework embroidery design which has a freeform outline with counted thread work as the design fills. This design can be matched with Fallen Leaf. It features different design fills patterns than Fallen Leaf. This design is inspired by the lotus flower form and hearts. The outline itself is in whipped chain stitch but each of the design fills are a counted stitch so best suited to an intermediate stitcher. Together with Fallen Leaf these cushions (pillows) will add a lovely hand-stitched texture to any room with the satisfaction you have when creating yourself!

Whitework is generally considered to have to be white thread on white material but as you can see from this example the use of pulled thread work can be very effective using other colours while still giving the lovely textured look of traditional whitework.
