All stitches are cross stitch. Third in the Lace Traces series of designs, Bursts of Blue’s images explode with motion in two shades of blue. Sprinkled with what I call ‘Assisi dust’, this pattern is stitched in the Assisi style of a stiched background and open images. If you choose to stitch it in needlepoint just use a white or off white wool for the third color.
