Meet beloved pooch, Frank Sinatra. The stitcher chose two existing stitches - the T-Stitch and Open Diamond Pavillion and alternated stripes of each using the same color thread as the painted background color. The result gives a unique, lacy and textural effect!
TIP of the MONTH
How to Create Your Own Background
EXPERIMENT!!!
The stitcher of Frank Sinatra (above) took a scrap of canvas and experimented with what she was thinking of doing before she started it on her canvas. Even though she was ultimately doing tone on tone she got a feeling for what it would look like by doing this. If you don't have a scrap of canvas try your idea on the outside edge of your project. Bring in your creation! We'd love to see it!
Princess and Me's line is comprised of whimsical ornaments and small canvases in many genres: Animals, Baby, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Snowmen, Sports, Wedding and more...
All come with great stitch guides too!
