Aloha All,
Happy Friday! Did you all have fun looking at the new canvases from last weeks TNNA market? Today I am going to show a few canvases that I myself like. But first let me give you today’s stitch.
This stitch was not found in any book it is just something that I charted. It is a Diagonal Oblong Cross with Satin Stitches and Sequins.
Diagonal Oblong Cross
First I stitched the Diagonal oblong cross with two ply of Baroque Silk. I thought this looked like fishnet stockings 😉 I then added satin stitches in one portion of my model using one strand of Petite Silk Lamé. Two 2mm sequins were added in the bottom portion of the model. I wanted to show you two different effects with the same base stitch. Looking at the stitch I can see scales for fish, mermaids or reptiles. It would also make a fun Santa bag by changing the fibers to Burmilana or Gloriana’s Lorikeet.

Turn the chart one quarter turn and the stitch changes direction.

Diagonal Oblong Cross – Larger
This is the same stitch just a little larger.
Here are a few of the canvases I found on designer sites.
This is a great saying by Kimberly Smith 🙂
