Mini Stitch Guide: Trellis Frame

I'm obsessed with Inslee's beautiful botanical paintings, and so I could not be more delighted to have this frame stitched and finished so I can admire them all the time! This is my first frame canvas but it certainly won't be my last. I love having some more variety in my display options for finished needlepoint pieces. Finishing was done by Rittenhouse Needlepoint in Philadelphia and they did a beautiful job!

For the background stripes, we recommend ensuring the pattern is centered for each individual stripe rather than keeping the pattern continuous across the stripes.

Fiber Recommendations

I suggest buying 1 skein/card of each color.
