WIP Wednesday

This Wednesday we have a design right out of the November/December 2014 issue of Needlepoint Now. It is Winter Scene by Martina Dey done in a fall color palette with DMC Perle 5.

This week I would like to highlight a painted canvas Barbara has been working on the last few months. It is called the Fourth of July Flag and it is designed by The  Collection Designs. You can see more of their designs at http://www.thecollectiondesigns.com/flagsfourth-of-july.html.

She purchased the canvas at the Wool and Willow in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. You can see more about the shop by visiting their web page at http://www.woolandwillow.com/dev/.

The stitch selections are by Barbara. She has almost completed all of the white background which she is doing in the Nobuko stitch.

We are all looking forward to seeing what stitches she selects for the the rest of the piece and how she intends to finish it.

This week we feature  Ro's current WIP, a  counted needlepoint design from Needlepoint Delights and designed by Kathy Rees. It is constructed with a variety of different threads which lend it texture as well as a color palette  that remind one of the Caribbean. While this geometric piece looks straight forward putting the center design elements on point makes the stitching challenging.

I thought it would be nice to showcase the works in progress of our members throughout the year. This would give us all an opportunity to see the variety of projects our members work on.

Today I would like to show off a painted canvas by Melissa Shirley that a number of our members are stitching. They started it as a class at Lori's shop, Expressions In NeedleArts back in May of 2015.

While they are all at different points you can see from this canvas the rich colors and textures that stitch guide introduces.  This is a challenging canvas but according to those stitching it a wonderful learning experience.
