When You've Lost That Loving Feeling (For a Canvas)

Greetings from needlepoint land.

I recently inventoried my ever-expanding collection of needlepoint canvases.  

Fellow stitchers who heard me say that have, without exception, groaned.  You probably did too.  I have to admit that one of the reasons I did it was because I bought a (small!) canvas and then discovered I already had it. 

I am not going to admit to the number of canvases I have.  This is not a competition.  (My evil twin, who accompanies me when shopping and encourages me to buy this stuff, says to tell you that I have a good chance of winning the, um, non-competition.)  

Besides, I also inventoried the things I have actually finished and found that I've accomplished a whole lot more than I realized!  Way to go me!

Back to the point.  During this inventory I found a canvas I loved when I bought it.  Now - not so much.  It is even on stretcher bars and I have the threads.  I just don't want to stitch it anymore.  

So it's time, without guilt or regret, to make room in the collection and pass the canvas to another stitcher.  One who will love it and want to stitch it now.  

And it's time to go shopping.  

EGA Petite Project

My tree is now an EGA Petite Project.  It is currently available to EGA chapters for use as a chapter program.  

The tree is stitched on 18 count ecru gold flecked mono canvas in creams and golds. Threads include Kreinik #12 Tapestry Braid, Caron Collection Watercolours and Impressions, and Rainbow Gallery Neon Rays.

NeedleDeeva Fall Hearts Finished

The NeedleDeeva Fall Hearts have been finished as a banner.  

These are 12 small hearts with an autumn theme.  They include a fall tree, orange flower, pumpkin, bird, candy apple, purple flower, corn, acorn, scarecrow, yellow flower, cornucopia and leaf.  

These canvases would make a great series or club.  Many use the same threads and beads and they stitch up quickly.  There are stitch guides for all of the canvases.
