Amy Bunger's doing a series of six small canvases as her home study pieces in 2019. She calls them Needlepoint Mosaics. They are quite interesting as she's chosen tiny pieces and is adding big borders to them all. You can see this best by looking at the cardinal (click on the dots at the top of the current picture and choose the next to last dot). You can see the design and the borders she's building around it.

You can see more in her latest newsletter, specifically how she is adding stitches around the tiny pine cone canvas.

UPDATE: There are more photos of the series here in the just published newsletter.

If you want to try this yourself, look for a small design that has a wide border of blank canvas around it. Some of Amy's were custom painted for her so you may need to limit yourself to 1-2 inches of new border area.
