Other ideas from Carolyn


 I had seen a turban stitched like this on Carolyn's FB page, Needlepointing in Your Nest.  She told me how to stitch it and I think it looks very good.  Stitched the Green Magi a brown eye.




Finished the gift



Green Magi from Heartstrings

He is complete.  I will choose a background stitch for them all when all the figures are stitched.  For now, he goes in the done pile.  I went to work on Joseph.



I like the stitch I tried.  It's from Carolyn's book called Needlepointing in Your Nest.  It's a great stitch and I tried to like it here, but no go.



Changed to the cordurory stitch that the guide called for

The difference


Cream birdhouse

I do, however, think it would look really good right here.

  1. Stephanie,

    You stitch so beautifully and I am so jealous that you have Carolyn so close by for field trips. The turban is just over the top beautiful. I really need to get back to mine, but so many gifts to finish up for Christmas. As I stitch all of these gifts, I just hope everyone appreciates the time that goes into them.

  3. Stephanie ,
    I am inquiring about a piece that my wife saw on Pintrest. It is a large dark red house with several sheep in the foreground. Is this available as a kit? If so, where may it be obtained?

    Thanks, in advance.

    1. It's a canvas from Ewe and Eye called The Lawnmowers. You can buy the canvas, the threads, and the instructions from amybunger.com. I would call and ask for Amy if you are interested. Very fun to stitch!
