Linda Lachance’s designs from Northern Pine are a delightful blend of Bargello and canvas stitches that are unique in charted canvas.
I also love the way she uses colored canvas as an asset in her pieces.
In the current issue of The Caron Collection’s on-line magazine, find directions for the delightful little piece pictured above. It has many of the characteristic elements of Linda’s designs: Hilton stitches, colored canvas, and clever use of Bargello.
You can also read their profile of Linda. If you want to see more Northern Pine Designs, including another free project, visit their site.

I can’t the pdf to download. Do you have a better link?
Janet Perry says
The only thing I can suggest is to go to Caron’s home page at https://www.caron-net.com and go from the link there.
