Several months ago, I fell for this counted canvas design by Tony Minieri.
It’s been done in a number of different color combinations and the book includes lots of suggested colorways and guidance on choosing your own based on a multi-color overdye.
I chose Gloriana’s Monet’s Pond. A combination of lavender, blue and green and spent time at a couple local needlepoint shops picking up threads.
A number of fellow stitchers and I decided to start the design this month. Here’s my first block, Marilyn Monroe:
(Colors are a bit sharp… I forgot to get the pic during daylight hours and had to rely on the Ott… sorry).
I love it. Cannot wait to add borders and continue on!
Thank you for thinking to my site. I love the colors you’ve selected for your version and I look forward to seeing each square as you complete it. Have fun.
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see more progress!
I can’t wait to see your progress on this. I started that piece a while ago, but only have the first block and part of the second done. I might just have to pull mine out soon as I know as you go along I’m going to want to start working on it again!
Oh my goodness! It is just beautiful!
Looking really good so far – the colours work wonderfully.
That looks wonderful! I love the colour combo and look forward to seeing how it progresses
It looks lovely, and I love the colors you’ve chosen!
Lovely colours for this piece. I am in awe of anyone who stitches this one… I am too scared to even order the chart!
