All stitches are cross stitch. This design is inspired by the beautiful Asian Coromandel screens, made of carved wood from India and coated in dark lacquer. One of Chanel's most gorgeous fragrances is their Coromandel, redolent of the patchouly shipped with the paisley shawls from the Coromandel coast. The pattern lends itself to many interpretations, adding or subtracting squares it works equally well as a cushion cover or a wall hanging. Kathy Bungard
