"Glitz and Glamour Sapphire"

Deb shares about this canvas piece:
I changed colors on everthing in this piece.
Now wish I had picked a lighter color canvas
because I have Jessica Crescent Stitches to add
and am having a hard time seeing the
placement of the stitches.

I may have to wait until the sun is shining
and take it outside to finish.

Ott light, Up light or white towel
under the piece are not helping.

If anyone has suggestions about how
to get light underneath
so that I can see to stitch
would be greatly appreciated!

This class will be taught at the May chapter meeting

Stitched on 18 ct. mono canvas, this geometric design lends itself to other colors than the blues and greens shown.This design is a terrific beginners project if you haven’t stitched on canvas before and want to give it a try, the stitches are not hard to learn and the piece works up quickly.Stitches are Diagonal Satin Stitch, Tent Stitch, Rhodes Stitch, and Rhodes Star.Fibers are Overture, Ribbon Floss, Pebbly Perle and Nordic Gold.

You’ll need your regular stitching supplies for this piece plus a ruler, thumbtacks, pencil and a laying tool. The kit will include all fibers, canvas, needle and instructions. Your kit will include 8” X 8” stretcher bars at an additional cost if you need them.
