Grandma's Flower Garden Finished!

I finished my first canvas work design by Laura J. Perin! It was such a fun stitch. I highly recommend these designs for anyone who wants to stitch, but doesn't want to hassle with magnifiers and lights. The holes are so easy to see and the patterns are very easy to follow. Anyway, here's my pic...

Laura J. Perin Designs "Grandma's Flower Garden" Freebie
Fabric: 18 ct. White Mono Canvas by Zwiegart

I started my class project the other day. I'm hoping to have enough progress for a pic tomorrow. It's hard to go from nice, easy canvas work, to over one on 32 ct.! :) Write later!

  7. What a great job you've done, Nicole. NO one would ever believe that you haven't been doing this all your life. Very gorgeous. I just might have to do this one too. And your LHN Neighborhood is fabulous--you have to get this one framed--its too fabulous to hide it away in a box or tub. I finally finished Reading, and working on the borders of my canvas work piece.
