This project is filled with new stitches to explore, and is larger than earlier designs, measuring 14 1/2" x 10 1/2". The booklet includes instructions for the more complex stitches - I assume the basic Schwalm stitches are already understood.
New stitches illustrated include the Double Herringbone, and seven additional fillers (Double Wrapping, Mosquite stitch, Open Corded, Star Crossed Heavens, Waffle stitch, Wing stitch and Wave stitch.)
This project was taught at the EGA 2008 National convention.
