Irises and Roses Firescreen

Description

This 1860’s pattern comes from a finished work that I have on display in my home.  It was kept behind glass since the day it was made so the colors were bright and clear.  The design is square, though it was in a round frame, at 180 stitches wide by 180 stitches tall.  It is made up of just 45 DMC colors.  Originally the Irises were done in white and grey beads.
