Canvas Creations

Welcome to our wonderful world of stitches, embellishments, fibers, and finishing techniques! 

Every month we will spotlight something new. You can always refer back to previous features in our Archive.


Click on the image above to see a close-up of the background stitches.

The basic Hungarian stitch has endless variations.  The background of the rooster is stitched using one such variation, using two threads in the same color, but with different compositions.

We used Kreinik metallic braid for the Hungarian stitch units (black lines on chart) and floss for the surrounding diamond lattice (white lines).
