Janet Granger just posted a photograph of some of her dollhouse rugs, all stitched on 18 count needlepoint canvas using one strand of Appleton's crewel wool. Appleton's crewel is one of my favorites because I love the colors available and it works so well on 18 count. You can see how lovely Janet's rugs are stitched with this. As for the title, look at the tiger rug in the photo. That was stitched from one of Janet's charts, then the stitcher turned it into a polar bear rug! So clever….
