I hope these photos give you a good idea of how nice these designs are.The candlewick designs are NOT counted patterns but, of course, the counted cross stitch designs in the Christmas annual magazine are counted. You can make the candlewick designs larger or smaller using different threads and reducing or enlarging a scan for any number of finished items other than those in the booklets.You can also mix and match motifs to make an endless number of different designs. About candlewicking - "...old form of needlework, true to our American heritage, which flourished...in the late 1800's though its lifespan was relatively short...many changes since its beginning...today is a much simpler form...basic stitches...series of Colonial knots, highlighted...with satin, stem, and back stitchesNatural...thread on unbleached muslin produces an elegant white-on-white effect forming reliefs...After stitching...rinsed in hot water..fabric...shrink around the knots...adds to...relief effect.Old samplers that still survive...show incredible skill...named after the wicking thread used in making candles." 3 out of 4 of the patterns include (except the last group listed)Color photosDirectionsDiagramsMaster drawings 1.
