The colors are burgundy, green, wedgewood blue and ecru. The design is worked

a separate design. This piece is a trio of hearts surrounded by a Rhodes
Hearts border.
About Sue
Sue Stokes attended the Paier School of Art where she studied children's
book illustration. For a while she designed greeting cards for Renaissance
Greeting Cards. She first designed cards using watercolors and colored pencils,
but found she got more of an effect when her stitching was photographed for
the cards. Sue worked on a freelance basis for about four years and during
this time designed a needlework piece for Leisure Arts. She also operated
a needlework and framing shop in Connecticut for three years. Ten years ago
she began her own design line, The Nutmeg Needle.
Sue travels and teaches nationally. She taught for Spirit of Cross Stitch
for three years, Celebration of Needlework for four years, and continues
to teach at needlework shops and guilds all over the country. She is known
as a friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and enthusiastic teacher.
