New Stitch Monday With a Twist – Week 11

New Stitch Monday With a Twist – Week 11

Well, we are coming to the end of finishing up the Raymond Crawford “NEEDLEPOINT” canvas.  For the final letter “T” I used the Diagonal Ribbons stitch.  I used Splendor S952 (4 strands for 18 count and 6 strands for 13 count) shown pink on diagram, Neon Rays N63 shown blue on diagram and Kreinik 684 (12 braid for 18 count you may want to use 16 braid for 13 count) shown yellow on diagram.   I think this would be a great stitch for some holiday canvases using any variety of red threads, ribbons & metallic threads.  For me I find it easy to do one row at a time this way if you mess up you can catch it before it’s too late.

Next week I will show you the finished canvas.  I hope you can add this to your new stitches for 2021.  Give it a try!

Happy Stitching – Stephanie
