Spangled Banner I

A Counted Canvas Design
(18-Mono)

Spangled Banner I

Stitched with Sampler Threads
from The Gentle Art,
Crescent Colours Hand-Dyed Floss,
Weeks Dye Works Floss,
Needle Necessities Floss Overdyed,
The Caron Collection Wildflowers,
and Kreinik #8 and #12 Braid


Design size: 3 3/4" x 10 1/2"
on 18-mono French Blue canvas

This design is a tessellation:
a shape (cell) that repeats to fill
a surface without any gaps or overlaps.
In this design the cell is a triangle, and
each badge in the design is composed
of two cells, back-to-back.

The design uses two values
-- light and dark --
of a common colorway.
