Staff Pick Wednesday – Summer Houses

 Wednesday Staff Picks -Patti Mann – Summer Houses

I know what you are thinking, if we are on vacation why are we still posting on the blog and sending e-mails.  Well the answer is we never stop looking for great needlepoint canvases especially if they are on sale.  Today’s “Staff Pick” is this colorful Beach House canvas by Patti Mann.   So many stripes you say, well a great book to have for this canvas is “Desert Island Stitches – Take Along Idea Books for Painted Canvas Embellishments”.  It’s a great book to have especially if you have lots of stripes.  Let us know if you would like a copy of the book.  The canvas was originally priced at $363 and is now on sale for $291 (not including threads).  If you would like us to kit it for you, we will give you 10% off of the threads.  Send us an email and we will get back to you when the shop reopens on August 4th.

New Stitch Monday – Alternating Cross & Upright Cross Stitch

New Stitch Monday – Alternating Cross & Upright Cross Stitch

The Alternating Cross & Upright Cross stitch is another stitch that I found when I was working on the Needle Deeva Flag canvas.   I used this stitch for the white stripes.  I was looking for an easy stitch that would work well with the Alternating Cross & Mosaic stitch that I wrote about last week.  Here again I used 4 strands of Splendor for both stitches.  This stitch can also be jazzed up by adding a coordinating metallic thread or one that is a shade darker or lighter.   Give it a try.

Happy Stitching – Stephanie

Finished Piece

Here is the piece finished as a wall hanging stitched by Stephanie.

 

Staff Pick Wednesday – Melissa Shirley

One of the best things is no matter the time Melissa Shirley canvases are always timeless.  This is one of those canvases, summer strawberries.  You can keep this simple or you can jazz this up.  The canvas is on sale today for $60 (originally priced at $74), threads not included.  This can be finished as an ornament or square it off and put it into a box or the center of a pillow.  Some of the stitches that can be used is the Lazy Daisy stitch for the white flowers, French Knots for the center or use some beads. For the center yellow section, you could do the Hesitation stitch instead of following the pattern.  The Double Stitch would be great for the pink stripes using a pink Neon Rays and the coordinating Neon Rays Plus.  If you are interested in this canvas send us an email as we are on vacation this week.
