Florentine Fun

Description

PROJECT BY CATHERINE (KIT) GATES

CANVASWORK || INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED

This exciting sampler of Florentine stitches can be worked in your colour choice on 18-count mono canvas.  When all the stitching is complete, this design can be made into a delightful rectangular-shaped pillow,  a lovely picture, an insert for a serving tray or a front panel on a bag.

The techniques for this design are canvaswork, and Florentine stitches worked in unusual ways. The stitches chosen for this design include four-way Florentine, Greek key, diagonal flint arrows, and adorable turtles, to name a few.

Design:  11¾” x 12¼”

Supplies:  18-count mono canvas cut 18″ x 18″, #5 pearl cotton, #12 Kreinik braid, embroidery floss, and Rainbow Gallery’s Fyre Werks and Petite Very Velvet are the suggested threads to create the wonderful texture of this embroidery—approximately $80 for minimum supplies.
