For sale is a counted needlepoint picture  kit designed by Eunice Beam from the Kitty Whigham Company in Tucson Arizona.  The picture is a lovely picture of a garden and contains a prayer. The title is THE KISS OF THE SUN.  The colors are very bright. It is just a lovely picture.  Included is the pattern and most likely all the wool yarn required for the design itself. However, the wool to complete the sky may not be included. The saying reads:

The kiss of the sun for pardon,

The song of the birds for mirth,

One is nearer God's heart in a garden

Then anywhere else on earth.

 

Eunice Beam during her lifetime was an accomplished artisit and embroiderer. She prepared and won many awards for her charted designs and scenes for needlepointing in excess of 75 charted designs. From what I understand, sometime later all of her designed were stitched for display by her assistant, Kitty Whigham and chart pakcs and kits were made available for sale to the stitching public. This is one of those kits.

 

This kit does not come with the mesh canvas. You will need to purchase this from a craft store. According to the information provided in this kit, this design is 195 stitches wide by 148 stitches deep.  If done with 10 gauge double mesh canves the size will be 23" wide x 20" long. There are 75 different shades. However, only 1 three ply strand is provided for each color. You will need to purchase additional yarn or supplement with yarn that you have..

 

Because of the fact that not all the yarn is provide, the price of this kit has been lowered from what you would normally pay for needlepoint kits. to take this into consideration.

This kit which I acquired with some liquidation inventory looks like it was made by hand and has a large pattern for the different colors. Some information is even written in ballpoint pen.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS LIKELY INSUFFICIENT YARN TO COMPLETE THIS WHOLE NEEDLEPOINT PICTURE. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A 3 PLY SAMPLE FOR EACH COLOR BUT IN MOST CASES IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THIS. YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLEMENT THIS WITH YARN YOU HAVE ON HAND OR WILL NEED TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL YARN FROM YOUR CRAFT STORE.

 

ALSO AS INDICATED EARLIER IN THIS LISTING YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE NEEDLEPOINT CANVAS FROM YOUR LOCAL CRAFT STORE.


 

 

I RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM AN EBAYER, THAT THE NUMBERS INDICATED FOR EACH COLOR OF YARN, CORRESPONDS WITH PATERNAYAN YARN. SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THAT BRAND OF YARN TO COMPLETE THIS NEEDLEPOINT.
