The Halloween forest from Ruth Schmuff is in the store now, but you had better hurry because it won't be here for long! This piece is featured in the new Thread Candy publication. Thread Candy is a needlework book that will be issued periodically and is full of fun projects. There will also be a different outfit in each book that you can use to dress a needlepoint doll. Fun!

Before and After

I (Anna) just finished stitching Spike the fish from Zecca. I received some great input on what to do with the background, and ultimately ended up doing a fun blackwork pattern from Julia Snyder's latest book. In the book Julia suggests stitching a small stitch and then using a very fine metallic thread to do the blackwork over the small stitches. Confused? Scroll down a little bit and look at the finished product! This technique gave the exact effect I was going for - love when that happens!
Here's what I started off with...
And this was my end result!
Sequins + metallic sparkly thread = fun!
We have one of these canvases in stock now, so if you would like to stitch a little fish you can! Give us a call or send us an e-mail any time.
