This is my plaid attempt -- Thank you Marge G! You taught me well. I'm not much of a canvas stitcher; however, this is a mono canvas using DMC 4 - Retors A Broder - a matte cotton. Colors: 2444, 2916, 2788. It is apx 4 1/4 x 4 1/8 " ... not quite a square. I'm not sure what to do for an edge. Maybe fringe? Maybe weave in all those ends? Some sort of something around the outside. WOOT ... at least I got the technique to work!
close-up of 'lelia's plaid'. I created this pattern yesterday afternoon. Found three colors I liked -- have not decided on the last color. I won the skeins of cotton in a door prize a few years back. Nice to finally use them up : ) My last color might be lt pink ... maybe white.
Not sure what project to pick up ... seems I'm on a 'rotation' of WIPs right now : )
Nice plaid! :o) I have been doing plastic canvas on and off for years.
ReplyDeletePretty Plaid!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you chose...makes me want to do an Irish jig! LOL!
Very nice! Those colors grabbed my attention right away. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI've never used canvas. I do seriously like your plaid, though. Excellent colors!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. I like the white non stitched area already, so I'd lean towards stitching it in white.

Woohoo! Way to go girl! I like your plaid. :) I agree with Sue; I would lean towards the white, as well.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's really neat! I'd vote for white (or black) for your last color :)
