Stephanie stitched Ella Elephant & Lilly Frog for her granddaughter and will be adding Naomi & Normi Gnome to her collection.
Here is a taste of some of their canvases.
Julie Mar Canvases are in the House
All of these canvases with their vibrant colors are just screaming stitch me! For those that are stitching and collecting Hamsa’s the Doves over Jerusalem measures 7 by 5 and is on 13 count canvas. A great stitch for the wings would be Helen’s Lace (see our blog post on 9/14 for a full description of the stitch).
The two colorful tiles measure 4 by 4 and are on 18 count canvas. Lots of potential for fancy stitches using Neon Rays and Neon Rays Plus, Entice and beads. The same is true for the blue floral canvas which measures 11 by 13 on 13 count canvas. If you love landscape canvases the spring canvas is just up you ally. This canvas is 10 by 10 and is on 18 count canvas. The stitching possibilities for this canvas are endless.
If you see something that you like give us a call and let us know. We will gladly help you pull threads and make stitch suggestions for any of these great canvases.
For today’s Staff Pick we have this fabulous Chinoiserie Backgammon Board designed by Anne Fisher. Once you finish the stitching, we can have it finished as a flat board then we can arrange to have a custom fitted Lucite tray to cover it. Your piece will become a family heirloom that can be used for generations to come. Originally priced at $437 and is now on sale for $306.
Slowly but surely new canvases have been arriving at the shop. We just got some great Kathy Schenkel ornaments in. Now is the perfect time to start planning you holiday gifts for next year. These ornaments would be great to use up some of your stash threads but if you ask us to kit them for you, we will give you 10% off of the threads. Give us a call if something catches your eye!

Last week I wrote about the Diagonal Hungarian Ground stitch. The Staircase stitch is very similar with possibilities for a twist. Personally, I would have called this stitch Diagonal Hungarian Ground Variation but I guess every stitch needs its own name. Instead of doing a Mosaic stitch you tent stitch (shown in yellow on diagram) the accent stitches. Just like the Diagonal Hungarian Ground stitch you can jazz up this stitch by adding metallic threads for the accent stitches or use coordinating colored threads such as Splendor, Vineyard Silk or Planet Earth and then add a matching Neon Rays or Neon Rays Plus. I also think using an over-dyed thread for the main stitch (shown in pink on diagram) and then add a solid color thread for the accent stitches would give this stitch an interesting look. Here is another twist, add beads! Give it a try!
Happy Stitching – Stephanie
