This is one of my rare forays into painted canvas. It's really hard! But she perseveres! I don't know the artist, but it is Houndstooth Tablet Case from Dream House Ventures.
It's about half done. It's hard to see, but there's a lot of metallics and most of the black is Pearl cotton. Too much black uurrggg.
Anyway, the 2 areas marked (upper left and right corners) have me stumped. Does anyone have any ideas about a stitch or stitches to use?
The yellow with gray circles I plan to do with nested Jessica's. The black wedge I want to try to use waffles, with lots of compensation.
I saw this design on Facebook several times and finally decided I wanted to try it. The design area is 5x5 and I have several finished pieces that size. Sooooo, if I liked it, I could make candy dishes.
I finally found the pattern for sale on Etsy and bought it. Surprisingly enough, I happened to have most of the materials in stash and was easily able to find a substitute for the other. I would make one, per the pattern, and go from there.
Here is the result. With and without candy. It's ok, but not ok enough to make any more. The finishing instructions are a bit vague and I suspect I didn't do it quite right, but it was a PITA in any event! One of my substitutions was the backing fabric. I used felt, which did not make a nice edge.
Oh well. It's done First 2020 finish!
