Love cross stitch and silk ribbon embroidery? Kaye Judt's Contentment marries these two techniques beautifully! 

If you're a cross stitcher who hasn't tried silk ribbon embroidery yet--here's your chance! There are terrific instructions in Just CrossStitch Magazine, April 2021 issue (p 18-21)

Kaye Judt uses Treenway Silks' 100% silk threads and ribbons in this delightful framed piece. Kaye's inspiration came from a quilt wall hanging by Christine Stansberry for Project House 360--thank you Christine for readily agreeing to have your quilt design interpreted into cross stitch & silk ribbon embroidery!

Kaye has used twelve skeins from our 65 Roses color line--'65 roses' is how young children with cystic fibrosis often pronounce the name of their disease. We donate 10% of all 65 Roses sales to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in honor of Andrea's angels, to help find a cure.  Thank you for supporting this cause with your purchase of this thread & ribbon pack.

I love cats and flowers--this piece just speaks to me! Plus, I love how Kaye "puddle stitched" the bricks for a realistic look.

We've put together a thread & ribbon pack to make shopping easier for you...you can get T&R pack only or if you don't have the April 2021 issue of Just CrossStitch April 2021 issue (p 18-21) magazine in your library, you can select the pack + magazine option when you order.
