My Sunday stitching yesterday was “Simply Blessed” by Raymond Crawford. He has several of these “Simply” canvases. This guide can work for any of them.
Materials
- Crystal Braid
- Gentle Ats Floss ** Pineapple
- 2 cards to Soft Sheen Fyre Werks to match border and lettering
Borders
Stitch the outside border in Upright Gobelin using the matching shade of Fyre Wekes
Stitch the gold border in Oblique Continental using Crystal Braid.
Background
Stitch the background, including over the branches in T Stitch using two strands of floss. I picked this stitch because it’s easy to stitch in diffrent ways and, because all the stitches are over the same type of intersection, it’s easy to stop and start.
Lettering
Stitch the lettering in using the matching shade of Fyre Wekes.
