Stitch-your-own Dragon Themed Chess Board in Blackwork Embroidery
Description
We are pleased to offer a new twist on one of our favourite games boards, this Dragon inspired chessboard this version is designed with multi coloured dragons but we do off single coloured ones too, click here to see other options. It is an innovative mix of Cross Stitch & Blackwork embroidery styles bringing life and structure to the backgrounds of the squares and creating a uniquely beautiful design. The flexibility of a fabric games board is suited to so many different ways to fit our lifestyles * It can be framed or presented on a wooden board under glass to protect your hard-work and the love and passion you put into your stitching * It is also foldable for travelling unlike many cardboard versions – we even have a customer who has leather backed her kits for use when camping * It is colourfast cotton so can be washed in warm water without running - and irons well * The 18 count Aida offers the tension required to provide a flat playing surface for the games pieces – linen can gather more if your tension is not uniform in your stitches The opportunity to create an Heirloom is here, - why not add a commemorative border to the board and gift to a child as a birthday or maybe christening present instead of a traditional sampler, the child could have it on the wall as a picture until they are old enough to use it to play with.
