Celtic Banner

Pattern only: $18.00

Fabric
Our model is stitched on 29 count Glenshee Linen (2 over 2) from Scotland. The color is called "Cottonfields." Washing the Cottonfields, which is hand dyed, will result in the loss of some the antique texture. Finishing instructions are included in the pattern.

Stitch count
98 x 674

Design area
6 3/4" x 46 1/2"

For handling and finishing we ask that you add 4 inches for width and 10 inches for length. Start down 6 inches from the top so that it fits correctly on the fabric. The best way is to purchase a piece of Glenshee linen 11" x 1 5/8 yards long. If you want to buy a less expensive linen and antique it yourself, remember that on 32 count the design area will be 6 1/8" x 42 1/8", so you'll need a piece of fabric that's 10 1/8" x 1 1/2 yards.
