Halloween and Autumn

Vintage Elegance

Designed byMary Polityka Bush

This business card pouch or small purse design uses Kreinik's Vintage colors, which have a muted, antique finish rather than a brighter metallic finish.It's a perfect look for autumn, and you can wear this little pouch to guild events or consumer shows. The lattice work is done with the Fine (#8) Braid, and the leaves are created with the slightly thicker Tapestry (#12) Braid.As you stitch this design, notice the difference in dimension produced by the two thread sizes; the Tapestry Braid, being larger, brings additional 'depth' to each leaf. 

Materials needed:

• Kreinik Tapestry (#12) Braid 153V and 003V 
• Kreinik Fine (#8) Braid 150V 
• Kreinik 1/8" Ribbon 153V 
• 7" x 13" piece of Zweigart Lt. Caramel Congress Cloth 
• #24 Tapestry needle, masking tape, 7" x 13" stretcher bars

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.
