Canvas Stitches Garden Sampler
Designed for my YouTube channel in 2024, you may also wish to make a start on this project by attending a workshop. The embroidery features 22 different canvas stitches introducing stitches such as Rice Stitch, Milanese Stitch, Parisian Stitch and Florentine Stitch. The embroidery can be worked in a 10" embroidery hoop and measures 16.5 x 15 cm. You can also use a 15" slate frame.
I have used 18tpi antique brown mono canvas (measuring approx 13" x 13") with 2-ply crewel wools and DMC stranded cotton. As an alternative to the workshop, a kit to complement the YouTube video tutorials is available to purchase now - click here.
