Carnation Tile canvas

Beth Russell Needlepoint

Description Printed canvas only This very simple design appeared in my book Victorian Needlepoint (now Arts and Crafts Needlepoint ). Inspired by a William De Morgan tile and printed on rug canvas (7/8 gauge) it is quick and satisfying to stitch. It would make a perfect project for someone wondering if needlepoint is for them. The stitched piece makes a pretty scatter cushion. The cushions shown here are stitched in cross stitch, using one thread of Appleton tapestry wool. Sewn together as a rug
