Introducing Miko

It's time to introduce my next project, which is set in the world of the flower and the willow. To get in the mood, watch this video, then read the article in the second link.

The canvas I am going to stitch is one of Leigh Design's Fash Inserts, a canvas intended to decorate one of the Lee tote bags. It is called Miko. I should be working on my cat topiary garden but the huge amount of background was starting to get to me, so I picked up the next of my three Leigh tote bag pieces. Because these Fash Inserts are small, they stitch up quickly. I've had lots of fun with the background and her hair. Monday I'll talk about her hair, which was inspired by a pumpkin.

But for tonight, I need to stitch topiaries!

Souvenir Needlepoint Canvases
Labels:

Janet Perry,

When we travel, we all love finding a new needlepoint shop and picking up a little souvenir of our trip. But sometimes that just isn't possible. There is no shop, there is no time, there just wasn't anything in the shop that evoked the trip. Janet Perry to the rescue! She's written up a list of designers who do what she calls "destination" needlepoint--painted canvases of a state, a region or just icons of that section of America. This makes it easy to find a canvas to remind you always of that trip you took, or the one you always wanted to take.
