New Stitch Monday – Decorative Borders over 4

Every now and then you need some type of decorative border to divide or enhance a section of your canvas.  I have included 3 diagrams showing how you can change the basic border stitch by changing what you do in the center by using a combination of silk, ribbon, metallic threads & beads.  On the Funda Scully box I used Fancy Border B along the bottom.  I used a gold Neon Rays for the basic outline.  For the center Continental stitches I used several strands of a navy Bijoux and then brick beaded a white pearl bead in the center.  I have used all three patterns on different pieces and have always been very pleased with the results.  Give then a try!
