Cat and Kittens

   
Category:Needlepoint

Subject:This is a Laurel Burch design. I downloaded a picture of one of her scarves from the internet, isolated a portion of the design, and used that as my template. Her designs appear on on coffee mugs, purses, and textiles. So a web search to find out how to purchase them!
Technique:Finished size is 8 x 10; Darice 14 mesh plastic canvas 8.5 x 11 with 6 ply embrodery floss.
This project was absolutely delightful. It was the right size for travel. By using plastic canvas, the needlepoint needed no frame or blocking. I felt the coverage was not adequate (The white canvas backing shows through the dark colors of the background. Next time, I will use clear plastic (instead of white) canvas with a cross stitch.
