Tulipa (The Tulip Mandala)

Stitched using 2 threads of floss over 2 threads of fabric. A total of 17 colors
(20 skeins) of Dinky-Dyes hand-dyed silk floss, 5 colors of Mill Hill Beads, and 6 colors of Sullivans floss were used in the model.

NOTE: Due to the number of Dinky-Dyes Silk Floss colors required for this design, I have provided Sullivans/DMC/and Anchor comparable colors to make stitching this design more affordable. However, it is very important to keep in mind that Dinky-Dyes Silks are variegated in color, some more than others. Although color comparables are provided in other floss lines (Sullivans/DMC/and Anchor), these are “best match” alternatives.

Fabric: Stitched on 28ct Antique White Jobelan by Wichelt Imports.

Stitch Area: 200w X 200h

Stitch Count: 198w X 196h

Design Area: 14” X 14”. Purchasing a fat quarter will work sufficiently, but will only allow 2” of selvage on the right and left sides. The model was stitched using a fat quarter and there was plenty
of selvage for framing.
