Nerd fact:
Even though Milford Sound is called a sound, it's actually a fjord, and there is a difference!
A sound is usually formed by the flooding of a river valley, when a fjord is is formed by glacial erosion.
Turns out Milford Sound first got its European name by a Welsh sealer who never even entered the fjord. He called it Milford Heaven after his home town.
Some years later, another Welshman replaced Heaven with Sound incorrectly assuming that it was in fact a sound, and not a fjord. But the name just stuck.
Also, did you know that New Zealanders spell fjord as fiord? And apparently both are grammatically correct. Guess it's similar to the color vs colour and such.
As for the much older name which was given to this stunning place by the Māori, Piopiotahi, there's a very interesting legend you can read about here.
Absolutely! I'm always on the look out for beautiful places. If you have a landscape scene in mind, the best thing to do is email me with your idea and some photos for reference! I consider every single suggestion!
That's totally up to you!
All Squad patterns come with 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8" templates. Depending on your preferred way of stitching (aka what type of thread you're using and how many strands of it) 5" or 6" is the sweet middle ground
I stitch all Squad patterns in 3.94" Nurge hoops using single strands of DMC Stranded Cotton (Mouline Special) and re-hoop in 2.75" hoops by Hardwicke Manor for display
Go wild, I don't mind
I call it "stitch hacking"
It's nothing to do with skill, and everything to do with the right materials and tools.
Each Squad Pattern comes with nearly 50 pages of instructions, visuals, links to goodies and tips for the best looking outcome!
Go for it!
