Description

The listing, needlepoint canvas has ended.

GORGEOUS hand painted needlepoint canvas, almost exactly 12 inches square. Hand painted by me several years ago. This does not include yarn, but the pattern is easy enough to follow if you are intermediate or advanced. I personally think a smart beginner could totally do this. The double pics are one pic with a flash and one without, trying to give you a good idea of the colors. The background is a creamy yellow, the flowers are gradients of pink. It was painted with acrylics, not sure the gauge of the canvas, but when I was making these I actually used embroidery floss, not yarn, to make them and as I recall it took either 6 or 8 individual strands of floss thread, I think that is two less than a normal floss rope/cord/whatever it is called. I liked to make my own colors by mixing different threads from different strands...yes, it is a miracle I ever got anything done.

In any case, this is very pretty and would make a nice wall hanging or small seat or footstool cover.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not have any tubes and will not purchase one for this. As such I will have to fold it to mail it, but will use a bubble mailer not just an envelope.

Oh, thank you so much! I do love this, but must finally admit I will never get it started, much less finished...I have a white magnolia one I made at the same time and did start to needlepoint and it is only 1/3 done and it has been too many years to count! I hope whoever wins this will finish it! ; )
