New Stand Up Acrylic for Ornament Display

Labels: , , , , ,
Stitch Stash has a new acrylic standup to showcase your round 4 - 4 1/2 inch ornament.  They weigh around 3 pounds and have a slit at the top where you drop in your finished canvas.


You can also get a square version for a 4 - 4 1/4 inch square ornament.

These are only available at Stitch-Stash (above) or Emily's Stitchery.  Note that the shops are taking pre-orders--these should be in the shops by late September-early October.

Melita Tackles Fibonacci Swirls, Designed by Olivia Hartshorn

Labels: , , , , ,
The next ANG chapter project Melita's going to participate in is Olivia Hartshorn's Fibonacci Swirls.  You can see the finished model on the Cyberpointers website.  It was their March 2024 counted canvaswork project.

Melita is planning to stitch this twice in two color ways, one on Congress cloth, one on 18 count needlepoint canvas.  You can see her thread choices here.  The black and white photo is to check that there's enough contrast in the threads she choose for 18 count.

She's changed her mind about the shades in the purples version but both it and the autumn shades version are started.

The centers are done.  Melita's trying to control the color changes so that they will accompany the swirls that will be done last.

The "arms" are done in both color ways.
