Breaking News: Lois Caron Has Died

Labels: , , ,
The National Academy of Needle Arts has announced the death of Lois Caron, whose CARON Collection of threads (Watercolours, Wildflowers, Waterlilies, Soie Crystale and many more) has enlivened our stitching for decades.

Godspeed, Lois, and thank you.

Melita Tackles Imperial Topaz

Labels: , , , , ,
Melita and her local ANG chapter are going to work Sue Reed's "Imperial Topaz" chart as a project next.  Melita is changing the colors.

The center start is quite promising.

The background behind the center is very attractive.

Area B is next.  It frames the center nicely.

Melita is doing the pattern couching border around the central rectangle now.

Melita found the use of Serendipity Stitch, which makes three colors look like five shaded, very interesting.

I think this is done!

No, not quite.

If you are interested, here is the original model from the Needlepoint Now website where you can buy the chart for only $3 USD.
