The one frustration I'm finding with needlepoint is the complete lack of attractive canvases. They are either old fashioned or Holly Hobby queer. So I took it upon myself to design this one. I downloaded and enlarged a favorite font for the "M" and copied a cool graphic from a desk calendar for the spray of flowers.
I was a little nervous about taking it to the finisher. They once put a hideous dark green moire on the back of a Christmas Santa - bluck! So, I gave strict instructions to use an "apple green velvet" and lo-and-behold, they hit the mark exactly. I'm so pleased. Let's hope she keeps it off of the floor.
It turned out beautifully! She better love it!
ReplyDeleteYou are so so clever! Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so, so sweet and pretty! Only B would create her own design and make her sweet daughter a pillow. If only I could think of something this creative for Harper's 5th bday. I miss you! Melissa
