Patty Paints Needlepoint Pumpkin

You visit a needlepoint store and see the most beautiful painted canvas designs — but how do you make it come to life with stitches? How do you pick the threads and the stitch effects? A Stitch Guide is the perfect solution. Created by shops or designers, a printed stitch guide gives you a recipe for stitching a particular canvas. We loved this white pumpkin canvas design by Patty Paints and asked the dynamic duo of Beth and Suzanne (SHEAR Creations) to bring it to life with Kreinik's new holographic metallic threads. The finished stitched piece is gorgeous and stitches up easily and quickly.
