In October, 2011, Needle Nicely will have been in Vero Beach, Fl, for 30 years. To commemorate that occasion, I have asked Trubey to design some special canvases. One of these special canvases is a seashell canvas that will be made into a two-sided tote 13" long x 11" high x 4" wide. This is one side (the other side is a mirror image).
I started stitching this 3 weeks ago and am trying to spend at least an hour a day working on it at home. The water and sand will be stitched in Paternayan wool in the basketweave stitch. Here you can see that I have finished the water on one side.
I'll post up-dated photographs every 3 weeks or so as I begin to make progress. I want to finish stitching in time to send this to the finisher in August so it will be assembled by October 1. Wish me success!
The shade of blue you've chosen for the water is lovely!
