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.
