people still think of cross-stitch as
covering blue lines on pre-stamped
dish towels, sheets and
pillowcases. Little by little,
though, Americans are
discovering the “counted thread”
method used in the rest of the
world.
By counting threads in an even

Find right grass for your lawn
LANCASTER The next time
you sit in your yard and admire the
beautiful lawn you’ve created,
think about the time and research
that went into developing grass
seed that produced all over your
yard—even under trees.
James J. McKeehen, Delaware
County Extension agricultural
agent says that because* a “per
fect” grass has not yet been
discovered, many seed companies
experiment and combine different
types of grass seed to get blends
that will produce under different
conditions.
Grass seed blends are designed
to incorporate various strengths of
grasses to provide you with the
best lawn possible. Seed is
evaluated on its adaptability,
tolerance to mowing pressure,
disease resistance, shade
tolerance, uniformity of grass
texture and compatibility.
Some grasses, for instance, are

FRINGES: 1. Uravel edges of
napkins and runner to create
fringes all around. 2.‘ Machine
stitch around napkins and runner,
just inside fringes. Use zig-zag
machine setting and matching
sewing thread. 3. Tack a center
line from one end of the runner to
the other.
STITCHING THE ANGELS: 1.
Thread needle with two strands of
embroider floss. 2. At one end of
the runner, work two angels,
putting stitch (A) 12 squares up
from the end of the runner and 6
squnrcs ever from the center line.
3. Work angels on other end of
runner. 4. Remove center line. 5.
Stitch angels on napkins so that
stitch (B) is 12 squares up and 12
squares over from the comer.
CROSS-STITCH TIPS: 1. Make
one cross-stitch (C) over a square
of fabric for each square in the
angel graph illustrated. 2. Stitch
over intersections in fabric, where
vertical and horizontal threads
meet. 3. Use the same holes for
adjacent stitches so that all
crosses touch. 4. Instead of
knotting ends, hide by running
through threads in back of the
fabric.

more adaptable to sun than shade
conditions. This is an important
consideration when developing a
shade-tolerant mixture. Grasses
also vary in disease resistance.
Seed companies don’t want to mix
two types of grass seed that are
susceptible to the same disease. If
one type of grass contracts a
disease, other types in the blend
must be able to compensate for it.
The grasses must also be uniform
in texture so they will not
“clump.” A uniform carpet of
grass is the goal. Grasses should
be compatible, too. Some grasses,
such as bentgrass, crowd out other
grasses.
Grasses are also blended for
function. They may be used for a
deluxe lawn, a shady lawn, or for a
lawn that will get heavy use. Check
the seed package before you
purchase turf grass seeds. Make
sure the mixture you choose fits
your lawn requirements.
