I forgot to include a diagram of the stitch. Give it a try!

I am currently working on the snowman from Labors of Love.  After looking through several of my books I realized that I didn’t want to go to crazy looking for the perfect stitch for the snow and I wanted to keep the stitching simple on this project.  The Hungarian stitch was perfect.  Using Petite Sparkle Rays, I achieved the look I was going for and I didn’t need to worry about the shading along the bottom of each part because the stitch allowed the blue to come through.  I did use a blue Petite Sparkle Rays for snow dots that are on the scattered around.  I also made some changes to the canvas and used heart buttons on the 2 sections.  This way I can leave this cutie out through Valentine’s Day.

We have this canvas, the Christmas tree & Mrs. Claus in stock.  We heard that there will be a Santa coming out some time in the Spring.

These 2 beauties just arrived in the shop.  Love, love, love the colors.   They will be so much fun to stitch.  I’m seeing lots of beads & metallic threads.  Give the shop a call and one or both can be yours!

Some great Needle Deeva canvases are in the shop for the month of January.  Here is a taste of what we have.  20% off trunk show canvases.

What an amazing canvas we just got in.  If you are a world traveler or you know someone who is you need to make this tote.  This is a four-part canvas on 13 mesh.

We could have our painter add a favorite place that you have visited to customize this canvas even further.  In addition, we could have the trunk handles on the gusset monogrammed for you.

Give us a call and this great project can be yours.
