Reminiscent of sprintime in Paris, this Fleur de Lys pattern uses pretty spring colors using continental stitch on or long stitch (sometimes called straight stitch) on 13-count canvas.

The design is horizontal, but can easily be adapted to a square shape by reducing the number of stripes and pattern repeats.

Finished Size: Approximately 13 x 11 inches

Mesh Size: 13-count

Size of Canvas Needed: 18 x 21 inches

Threads Needed: DMC Tapestry wool in the following 7 colors - deep burnt orange, light peach, medium green, dark green, golden brown, medium gold and tan.
