Durene Jones
Durene is a popular designer who loves to create bright and colourful designs for Cross Stitch Gold readers
Accent your home with my newest design, a circular cushion emblazoned with an eye-catching Celtic-style motif, inspired by traditional Irish artwork. The stitching techniques in this mesmerising knotwork pattern are almost as complex as the design itself, with not only all the usual stitches employed, but also Madeira Star stitch, and couching stitch. Experienced stitchers will enjoy the challenge of these new stitches, and we’ll help you along the way with some handy instructions on page 47. I hope you’ll love the colours, too – I’ve chosen shades of lilac, magenta, emerald and violet, for a vibrant and beautiful finish.
