Caballos Corriendo Horses Running and Dos Caballos ONE Horse Running from Ronnie Rowe Horses Running and Two Horses... A pair of dramatic designs by Artist Ronnie Rowe. These are stunning on paper, but even more-so when you see them stitched! We have them on the shop walls... and what a treat! Presented in chart format, choose any white fabric you like to work on. Then grab lots of black and gray DMC's... (or change to browns and taupes) and maybe a highlighter to keep your place on your chart... and you're ready! Each piece measures 190 x 300 in stitch count, so on 14/28 they'd be 13-1/2 x 21-1/2... something impressive on your wall. Just beautiful works of art. The titles are a little confusing side by side here... the 'Corriendo' piece features the two horse srunning. The 'Dos' piece has the one horse running with the highlighted pale horse in he background. To save confusion, just get 'em both! Raising the Flag, Baby Feet and Eiffel Tower from Stitching Jules Design Jules and Ronnie Rowe started communicating online... and mentor helped student! They are now friends, and Ronnie was thrilled that Jules came to Market with her new designs! So we have followed through and added these to our Ronnie Rowe page. Raising the Flag - Ok... choose your fabric, choose your color to stitch this iconic image - stitch count is 200 x 200. Baby Feet - Every Child begins the world again... This one is stitched on any fabric you like but uses a whopping 26 different colors of DMC floss! It is solid stitching and NOT for the weak-of-stitcher! The stitch count is 180 x 140... doesn't sound intense until you look at the chart. Truly lovely... but I'm not think'in a new mom has time to stitch this one! Eiffel Tower - Wow, this is stunning! Measuring 140 x 550 - this will finish 10 x 40 on 14ct! Just black floss... and a lot of patience. Actually, just start this at the top, and follow down row by row... this one is very 'do-able!'
Presenting the Music in America Series Wow... these are definitely for the serious music lover - and a serious stitcher! Ronnie Rowe is a really fun guy. I'd heard about his stuff for years... I didn't know he was a 'real person' until he showed up at market for the first time a couple of years ago! The man is eternally cheerful and assured me he was, indeed, alive! Completely talented - he sketches out all this stuff and then stitches it and charts it! Absolutely unbelievable in detail and vision, his designs will remain classics. His covers really don't do justice to the stitched pieces. New this year are these 5 tributes to music. Each is presented as a chart and coded for just plain 'ol DMC floss. His style is to mimic pen and ink - these are so exciting, so realistic. They'd be lovely in a music room, recording studio, office, school... anywhere someone can appreciate them. They are generous in size - all around 12 x 17 (180 x 270 or 300 in stitch count) - so visually commanding!
Flight Ronnie writes: Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of the first flying machine, to the Space Shuttle's missions to the international Space Station, flight has taken mankind on voyages from the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina with the Wright Brothers to "One Small Step for Man" with a walk on the moon. Ok... 480 x 320 in stitch count... this measures 30 inches x 20 inches on 16/32ct. It's definitely a signature piece. You stitch with only DMC #844 gunmetal gray. Yeaaahhhhh, there's quite a bit of counting, but if you use a highlighter on your chart, you can keep track of where you are. And good news... no backstitch or 1/2 stitches! And you know... he SHOWED us his sketches-in-working for this! So cool, here it IS!
Best in Show Gotta love these little guys! Together they measure 400 x 240... you might be able to separate out your favorite doggy. Coded for DMC, there are actually 10 shades in here - the 844 gunmetal for the dogs, and 9 shades of blues for that ribbon!
Ronnie Rowe's Pen & Ink Cross Stitch Collection Stunning and sophisticated, Ronnie Rowe's artwork is 'single pixels' - placed just so - to create these awesome designs! (Actually ALL cross stitches are single pixels, but since we don't usually see them arranged this way in one color, our eye doesn't see that so much.) Stitched on any white fabric you wish, he uses only DMC #844 gunmetal gray to stitch his designs. (You can use any color you want, as well.) So appropriate in an office, library or family room setting, they are lovely, and presented as charts. The White House measures 300 x 400 in stitch count - it is am impressive 25 x 17 on 18/36ct... or 32 x 22 on 14ct. Mount Rushmore measures 300 x 220 - finishing 17-ish x 12 on 18/36ct. Lady Liberty measures 200 x 300 - again about 12 x 18.
Native Americans This piece speaks volumes! Stitched with Ronnie Rowe's favorite gunmetal DMC color of 844... you'll get to add 3072 to that image on the right to make it appear farther away, and then add a teeny bit of 3758 baby blue for that awesome sky! Measuring 320 x 480 in stitch count, your fabric choice will dictate the finished size. Such a great piece, it'll finish approx 23-ish x 34 on 14ct... but could be only 8 x 12 over one on 40!
We have a fresh shipment of Ronnie's Cat's Eyes and Dog Portraits... they have been favorites for years!
It's All in the Eyes Each of these is stitched on any white fabric you want, using DMC 310 black. The eyes are the only color on each, so it really draws YOUR eye! They all measure around 160 x 180 - so 9 x 10-ish on 18ct. These can be quite challenging to stitch because the chart counting can really confuse you. MAKE SURE to use a highlighter to color the chart parts you've already stitched... it really helps. Another good tip is basting the heavy chart lines - some like to do that. Don't baste every thread - just make long stitches 10 threads apart to follow the grid lines of the chart, and don't pierce that thread when you are stitching - that way it pulls right out! Does anyone look like your kitty?
And the Cute Doggies! Again... any white fabric, only DMC #844 required! Each measures 200 x 200 in stitch count... do the basting or chart highlighting trick mentioned above with the Cats - it'll save your sanity!
