I used a couple of specialty stitches on Pineapple Fish, but mostly I wanted colors of the variegated silk to predominate, so again, just the tent stitch. I bought a Stitch Guide for the Halloweentown canvases by Melissa Shirley, but have seen them stitched at my LNS and I know I will do some things differently than the Stitch Guide. I did some research on stitches for the Black and Red Box, but most of it I am making up as I go along.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968531508224415029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825879933907079057.post-35423236380233243472007-09-22T10:59:00.000-04:002007-09-22T10:59:00.000-04:00What a pretty finish!
